Synopsis: Ravenwood
Courage? To leap through a wall of fire, not knowing what is on the other side. In 1860, orphan Amanda O’Malley becomes ward of her uncle Lethan Jasper Barnes whose Chicago mansion, Ravenwood, harbors secrets, both old and new. What drove her mother to flee? What drives Jasper to murder? And what ultimate deceit causes Amanda to denounce her uncle and claim her true heritage? Escaping the Chicago Fire tests her newfound courage and brings her to that wall of flames.
Excerpt: Ravenwood
If there were one moment in time where you could go back and change just one thing, I would choose my eighth birthday. That was the day the letter arrived. In that fateful moment before Momma broke the seal and opened the envelope, I would snatch it from her hands and shred it into hundreds of indecipherable pieces, and then take whatever punishment she chose to mete out. It would be worth it. They would all still be alive.
