When Ikemefuna is put on a plane from Lagos, Nigeria to Sugar Land,
Texas, she anticipates her newly arranged All-American life: a handsome
husband, a beautiful red-brick mansion, pizza parlors, and dance
classes.
Desperate to please, she'll happily cater to her family's needs. But
Ikemefuna soon discovers what it actually means to live with her
in-laws. Demands for a grandson grow urgent as her every move comes
under scrutiny. As Ikemefuna finds there's no way out, her new husband
grapples with the influence of his parents against his own increasing
affection for her.
As family secrets boil to the surface, Ikemefuna must decide how to
scrape herself out of an impossibly sticky situation: a marriage
succumbing to generational cycles of pain and silence. In the end, she
may be carrying the greatest secret of all.
An unforgettably delicious thriller, House Woman is about a woman
trapped in a dangerous web of conflicting desires, melting in the Texas
heat.
