Moving home after a recent job loss was supposed to reassure Camden
Bristow and give her time to decide what to do next. But when she
arrives in Etherton, Ohio, she discovers that her grandmother, who she
hasn't talked to in years, has passed away and "home" is an empty
mansion 150 years old. Not exactly the comfort Camden was looking for.
What happened to the house she played in as a child, the bedtime stories
that told of secret passageways and runaway slaves, and all those family
memories?
When antiques start disappearing and footsteps are heard, some of those
memories start to creep back and Camden wonders if her grandmother's
bedtime stories might actually be true. What really happened here . . .
at Crescent Hill? How was her grandmother involved? Who still has access
to the house? And for what purpose? As she works to uncover the past and
present mysteries harbored in her home, Camden also uncovers secrets
about her family that could change the town--and her life--forever.
"It's history, mystery, and treasure hunt wrapped up in one suspenseful
adventure! You'll want to keep the lights on while you read Dobson's
plot-driven story. She so skillfully sets the scene in this memory-
haunting house that you'll hear the creaks and footsteps. And whether
lost or redeemed, her believable characters ring true with their genuine
faults, all-too-human mistakes, and realistic 'skeletons in the
closet.'"--Fiction Editor, Christian Book Distributors
