"Two stories meticulously spun, woven together
with intrigue and linked through an old locket and a mysterious desk... I recommend it: a riveting
read filled with action, suspense, family secrets and surprises." |

When Bill Braden and his
family inherit his grandfather's old house, they discover that riddles
and mystery come with the home. Who is the unknown man in the picture
above the desk that won't open? Why was a gold coin hidden in a
model train? Does a ghost inhabit his sister's room? What is the
importance of the unfinished journal of a Civil War soldier? Who
is the girl in the picture inside the 100-year-old locket, and why
does the girl living next door a century later have an identical
locket with a picture of Bill's ancestor? Who are these faces in
the frames?
Follow two stories set in the same family 100 years apart as two
young men face desperate struggles—one to survive the bloodbath
of the Civil War and the other to comprehend the tragedy of a terrible
autumn day in 1963. |
