The Joneses Full Synopsis

​

The Joneses: Perfect on the Outside, Crumbling on the Inside

​

The Jones family has it all—or so it seems. Royce Jones, the charismatic owner of a once-thriving funeral home empire, and his glamorous wife, Lexi, have built a life of luxury and status in their community. With their three children—Charity, Hope, and Lovie—they’re the family everyone envies. But beneath their polished façade lies a web of secrets, lies, and scandals threatening to unravel everything.

Royce is grappling with a dying business and mounting financial woes he’s too proud to admit. Lexi, determined to protect her family’s image, takes matters into her own hands, risking her marriage in the process. Lovie, the youngest and most loyal, becomes dangerously entangled in his quest to bring joy to his mother. Meanwhile, Charity and Hope find themselves locked in a bitter rivalry over the same man, exposing cracks in their sisterly bond.

​

As their carefully crafted image begins to shatter, the Joneses learn that perfection comes at a price—and their darkest secrets can’t stay hidden forever. Will they weather the storm, or will the truth destroy everything they’ve built?

​

Full of twists, family drama, and shocking revelations, The Joneses is an unputdownable story of ambition, deception, and what happens when keeping up appearances goes too far. The Joneses eBook by Shelia M. Goss | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster
