Book Overview
Shattered trust. Buried secrets. A friendship on the brink.
In a small town where everyone knows everyone's business, Jordie and Hannah share an unbreakable bond, forged in childhood innocence, strengthened by shared struggles, and ultimately defined by a tragedy that rips their world apart.
As grief consumes him, Jordie remains unwaveringly at Hannah’s side, while Agent Celina Altube embarks on a desperate search for answers, uncovering a web of lies that shatter their understanding of the past and force Jordie to question his trust in people and the beliefs he once clung to.
With guilt, betrayal, and long-buried secrets rising to the surface, Jordie must confront a devastating truth: Can he ever truly move forward, or has the past already shaped his future beyond repair?
Set against a backdrop of joyful and painful memories as Jordie, now nearly sixty, returns to Dauntree Hamlet, this gripping novel is a heart-warming story of life, love, dedication, and redemption, with an ironic twist, perfect for fans of emotional suspense and small-town mysteries.
BIOGRAPHY I am a lifelong reader, devouring everything from Ayn Rand to Stephen King. This love of storytelling has fueled my lifelong desire to write. With newfound free time after bidding the corporate world farewell, I took the leap into authorship.
My debut novel, 'Secret of the Whispering Woods' is a middle-grade fantasy adventure that ignites imaginations. In a way, I guess it was an experiment, or a test - to see if I could do it. What it did do was to give me a taste for writing.
For my second book, 'In the Joining of Souls - Echoes of Yesterday' I wanted to do something more substantial. I wanted to create complex characters and emotional depth in a reflective narrative for a radically different audience.
From the very beginning, I have wanted to explore different genres. It seems to me that my stories tell themselves, and I can't wait to see what the next one brings.
