A House White With Sorrow von Jennifer Heath

Author, actor, activist Jennifer Heath has written a timeless novel in A House White with Sorrow. Originally published by Roden Press, Heath took the indie route to make this work available in digital format.

The story Heath reveals is the struggle of a diplomatic American family in Afghanistan prior to the Russian invasion, and chronicles their lives over some 20 to 30 years.
