Story
When her black sheep brother disappears, Amanda Janvier eagerly takes in her 16 year-old niece Tally. The girl is practically an orphan: motherless, and living with a father who raises Tally wherever he lands - in a Buick, a pizza joint, a horse farm - and regularly takes off on wild schemes. Amanda envisions that she, her husband Neil, and their two teenagers can offer the girl stability and a shot at a "normal" life - even though their own storybook lives are about to crumble.

The family is sent to an internment camp in Texas, where behind the armed guards and barbed wire, Elise feels stripped of everything beloved and familiar, including her own identity.

Generational Story of Sacrifice, Love & Loss

By: Erin Bartels
Publisher's Summary
A house shrouded in time. A line of women with a heritage of loss.
As a young bride, Susannah Page was rumored to be a Civil War spy for the North, a traitor to her Virginian roots. Her great-granddaughter Adelaide, the current matriarch of Holly Oak, doesn’t believe that Susannah’s ghost haunts the antebellum mansion looking for a pardon, but rather the house itself bears a grudge toward its tragic past.
When Marielle Bishop marries into the family and is transplanted from the arid west to her husband’s home, it isn’t long before she is led to believe that the house she just settled into brings misfortune to the women who live there.
With Adelaide’s richly peppered superstitions and deep family roots at stake, Marielle must sort out the truth about Susannah Page and Holly Oak - and make peace with the sacrifices she has made for love.

Incredible storyline, perfect narration!
Living in the home of your new husband's dead wife? Um, no thank you! This story had two parts, the contemporary part and the other part where the author reached back into history through these old letters to tell us the backstory of the house and those who used to live there. The book has something for everyone; mystery, quirky characters, humor, great storyline! Susan Meissner does not disappoint. Susan Denaker did such an amazing job narrating young voices, but also especially the elderly ladies' voices, Bravo! Enjoy! 😊

Author Susan Meissner tells of lies, deceit, sacrifice, and love during the 1860’s. You will love the mystery and suspense from the beginning. book fits toward the top of my favorite books of this year! Set in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
