This author is a budding writer who lives in south central Pennsylvania, a place of natural beauty and inspiration. I met her after the 2015 York Book Expo when she joined my Year of the Book writing workshop … and golly! … what she’s accomplished in the last 8 months!

Newly widowed, Laura Evans starts receiving phone calls from someone begging her to return to her roots in a small town in North Carolina. But a decades-old family secret is about to be resurrected, and it’s shrouded in an evil Laura never knew existed.

Somehow, she must find a way to forgive those she’s loved most for their involvement, including a father she can barely remember, an emotionally distant mother, and a cold, impersonal and now deceased husband, while struggling to forgive herself for becoming the person she never meant to be.

Yet, with something evil and other-worldly stalking her, will she be able to get to the truth and overcome it all without losing her self?
