Mamie Garrison is a story of an ordinary woman who goes to extraordinary lengths to do what she knows is right. Everything in her young life has led her to this moment, this decision. She will embark on the greatest adventure of her life.
Approximately one hundred and fifty years later, her ancestor, Bella Garrison, inherits a house from her grandmother and finds Mamie's journals in a trunk in the attic. Bella with the help of her historian boyfriend, Andrew, will follow Mamie's journey through her writings, to find out more about this intrepid woman and what she achieved. However, someone is trying to stop them from learning about Mamie. What do they not want Bella to find out?
And...what is the meaning of the strange events occurring in Bella's house?
Advance Praise
Almost finished. That's good and bad as I am enjoying this book so much I hate it to end. But today it will be. Terry, keep writing and sharing your gift.
“The author wove such an enticing tale I didn't want to put down the book. The life trials of Mamie, what she saw, what she heard, what she endured, were brought to life in words. The author painted a picture of the times prior to the Civil War. The fear was real. The lack of humanity was real. The cruelty was real. And not just because of what is taught in our history books. It is this author's words that come to life. I, the reader, felt. I felt the horror, the sadness. I felt the mystery, the apparitions.
I sincerely hope this author, Ms. McRae, finds it in herself to bring to pages more of Mamie.”
“Riveting, well researched topic, presented in a fascinating mystery. Held me spellbound; could not put the book down until I was finished.”
Excellent story. Couldn't seem to put this one down. Can't wait to see more from this author. A must read.

A very good book about slavery and several generations who were affected by it. Also has a little romance in it to make it enjoyable.

The cover initially drew my attention to this book, but can only say that the story didn't quite live up to my expectations. I am not going to write what the story is about, as i prefer one to read for themselves. Despite not quite making 5 stars, it would not stop me from reading another book by Teresa McRae.
My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review, which i have freely given.
