Some families hide skeletons in the closet. The Robinsons buried theirs much deeper.

Ivy Gallagher has spent her young life searching for a place to belong. After escaping Philadelphia's drug-addled streets and barely surviving an abusive charity home for girls, she is placed in the care of the wealthy Robinson family at Providence House, a sprawling Main Line estate.

For the first time, Ivy dares to believe she's found a home.

As she grows close to her older stepbrother, Bentley, the lonely girl begins to imagine a future built on love instead of fear. But beneath the grandeur of Providence House lies a legacy of lies, betrayal, and unimaginable cruelty.

When the truth finally comes to light, Ivy must choose between the life she's always longed for and the freedom she's fought to reclaim—even if it means breaking her own heart.

Dark, haunting, and ultimately hopeful, Black and Blue Ivy is a modern gothic novel about forbidden love, family secrets, resilience, and the enduring power of hope.

Perfect for readers who loved the haunting atmosphere of Jane Eyre and the unsettling family drama of Flowers in the Attic.
