Waiting on Wednesday

What the Dead Want

By Norah Olson

Publish Date July 26^th 2016

This book looks amazing on the outside and what I hope is on the inside is equally amazing!

16 -year-old Gretchen takes photographs to understand the world around her, a passion her mother Mona fostered and encouraged when she was still around. Since her mom disappeared years ago, Gretchen and her dad have lived on their own in New York City, haunted by Mona’s absence.

When Gretchen’s great aunt Esther calls unexpectedly to tell her that she has inherited the pre-Civil War mansion on her mother’s side of the family in upstate New York, Gretchen understands nothing except that her aunt needs her help. But what she finds there is beyond her imagination. The house is crumbling apart, filled with stacks of papers and journals from decades, even centuries past, and it’s crawling with rodents. It’s also full of secrets and a legacy of racism and violence so reprehensible that the ghosts of the past are exacting revenge on the living.

Somehow the mystery of Mona’s disappearance and the atrocities that happened on the land during the Civil War are inextricably intertwined, and it’s up to Gretchen to figure out how…before even more lives are lost.

I finally made it into the new used book store in my tiny town and I felt like I had fallen into book Nirvana I happened to score a Steve Berry book that I did not have yay!  Plus my new baby boy got to be loved on by the store owner I can see many, many more trips in my future.

Book Beginnings on Friday #1

This is a Friday Book Beginning post, a weekly meme hosted at Rose City Reader.

My Book Beginning

Mother of Eden by Chris Beckett

 

The trouble began on the waking I left Mikey with his dad on the Sand for the first time, and went out gathering bark with my uncle Dixon, my brother Johnny, and my sister Starlight.

This is the second book in this series and the sister Starlight is the main character and she will in fact turn everyone’s life upside down with a huge choice she makes.
