Description
Be careful what you wish for. When the breakup of her family forces Grae White’s mother to move her two children from their privileged city life to her hometown in the mountains of Virginia, all Grae wants is to be invisible in her new life. But that’s rather hard when everyone knows that her father is the latest headline-grabbing, white collar criminal, the most popular boy in school wants to take Grae to the prom, and then there’s that she lives in a haunted mansion. It would make anyone want to get away.
Grae soon learns that a simple wish can reveal an unknown ability. Something more than curiosity spirals Grae back in time to seek the truth in the tragedy of a 200-year-old murder. Along the way, she learns about history, happiness, and heartache in the lives of those who have lived on the property, including her own family. Her first journey reveals secrets that will lead Grae to further explore the legends of Graham Mansion.
Redemption received an honorable mention in the First Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Ebooks Awards.
There are about nine deity swears in this book, but eight of these are when she goes back in time and the characters say “Lawd” for Lord. To some, these may not be offensive; certainly they seem less abrasive that the customary deity swears (of which there was only one in the book). There was no other swearing. Violence: two onscreen deaths (one shot and one with an axe). Three other offscreen deaths, one from illness.
