The basic story line in this book is great. The Underground Railroad has always intrigued me plus there are secret tunnels, mysteries, greed, family secrets, etc.
About 1/3 of the way through it felt like it was really moving slow. I was ready for it to get on with the excitement. Then everything kind of exploded all at once at the end. Would I read another story in this series? Yes.
I like Camden’s emotional/spiritual journey. I like that the Bible gives her comfort and strength. I like that she’s not perfect, but trying her best.
Here is the backcover copy:
THE HOMECOMING WASN’T WHAT SHE EXPECTED…
Jobless, homeless, and broke, Camden Bristow decides to visit the grandmother she hasn’t seen in years. But when Camden arrives in Etherton, Ohio, she discovers that her grandmother has passed away, leaving her the 150-year-old mansion on Crescent Hill. The site of her happiest summers as a child, the run-down mansion is now her only refuge.
When Camden finds evidence that she may not be the mansion’s only occupant, memories of Grandma Rosalie’s bedtime stories about secret passageways and runaway slaves fuel her imagination. What really happened at Crescent Hill? Who can she turn to for answers in this town full of strangers? And what motivates the handsome local Alex Yates to offer his help? As she works to uncover the past and present mysteries harbored in her home, Camdem uncovers deep family secrets within the mansion’s walls that could change her life?and the entire town?forever.
