Wow, this book is simply wonderful!
I absolutely loved the combination of narration, it reminded me of ‘The colour purple’ in how the incredible story telling was so visual for the reader.
I got totally lost in it.
Beautifully written.
The best book I have read this year so far.

Thank you Mindbuck Media and NetGalley for the eARC.
This is a good read, although it needs editing before publication.
Caroline McAlister is a college professor who has inherited her father's cabin. Her career has stalled, her father has died and her marriage is over, so she needs something to take her mind off. Despite the pitiful state of the cabin, her contractor assures her it has good bones and he starts work immediately.
In the meantime Caroline starts reading the journal she finds, written a century ago by Carson Quinn.
Carson was thought to have killed his brother, but Caroline wants to investigate if that is indeed true.
The description of the area and its people, both in the past and present, is beautifully written. The possibility of a ghost adds to the atmosphere of the book and even though the story is sad at times, I ended up liking it a lot. Definitely recommended!

This book needs a bit more editing to be able to be read. It was a good story line but very hard to read.
