Readers will miss E. Lynn Harris even more after reading In My Father’s House. His talent for story telling is undeniably uniquely delivered. Harris penned a story of betrayal, love, and a secret society.
Bentley L. Dean is the sexy co-owner of Perfect Picture, a modeling agency. Due to the economy, business is not booming like it would be normally. During these times, Bentley misses his father more and more. No, his father is not deceased, but he wants nothing to do with Bentley while he is living the life that he is living. Doing as his father wishes could alleviate all his financial woes. Will Bentley forget the lessons he learned from his father? Or, will he continue to struggle causing him to do things he never saw himself doing? But is not every person entitled to love in all aspects of their life?
Jah is a college student Bentley has taken under his wings. Bentley encourages Jah to focus on school because something is missing from his life. However, when Jah has the opportunity of a lifetime, he jumps at the chance. He believes he will finally have all that he has been missing and much, much more. Is it really the thing he has been looking for? Or, will this be the final straw that will break him down to nothing?
There are so many layers to this book. Harris created characters whose emotions were raw and real. I got mad when they were mad. The relationships seemed so real. The thing that saddens me is Harris is no longer here to complete the lives of the people he created. I recommend In My Father’s House to fans of E. Lynn Harris’s work and to readers who have no issues with reading about homosexual relationships.
