Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: The House on Foster Hill
Book Author: Jaime Jo Wright
What do you like about this book:
"None to hear you. None to care."
The eerie words of a murderer.
Kaine Prescott has finally made her escape, leaving California where her cries for help in solving what she was convinced was her husband's murder, went unanswered. Arriving in her grandfather's Wisconsin hometown, where Kaine impulsively purchased a home in desperate need of renovation, she spies the dilapidated old house on Foster Hill and immediately begins to second guess her decision.
Decades earlier, Ivy Thorpe's life changed forever when a nameless young woman was found dead in the hollow trunk of an oak tree just below the house on Foster Hill. Unspeakable horrors had happened in that place and Ivy is determined to be an advocate for the two lives that had been temporary residents there. Finding the words, "This house holds secrets, and I am one of them", written in the margin of a classic novel tossed carelessly on the floor of a bedroom, Ivy dares to confront the terrifying specter on Foster Hill.
When the unimaginable of the past begins to stalk recklessly into the present, will these two women be strong enough to heed the words of the deceased and pray, "I choose to believe. . . . . I know God's presence here. Even in darkness, He is here. He awaits. . . . . . . . What will my legacy be? I choose hope."
Jaime Jo Wright has penned an extraordinary debut! It was my pleasure to receive a copy from the author and publisher. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.
