Corrie Saunders is grieving her
husband, Jarrod- a soldier who gave the ultimate sacrifice. After half a year,
she packs up everything she owns to move to his childhood home, desperate to
feel close to him and not ready to give up on his memory yet. She may just get
what she wanted- things are moving on their own due to a notable presence in
the house.
Jarrod’s cousin Eli helps Corrie
with the renovations of the house and warns her against the spiritual dabbling
of some of his family members who might be trying to convince Corrie that
Jarrod’s spirit is searching for her in the house. Corrie, who misses her
husband deeply, may just believe that the spirit that lives in her house is
Jarrod.
I wasn’t sure how I was going to
like this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. Stories filled with demonic
presences can be hokey, but this wasn’t one of them. Corrie has to work through
the process of grief while fighting her emotions versus her logic. On the flip
side, Eli feels guilt for falling for his dead cousin’s widow. A moving story
about the power of the name of Jesus.
I received this
book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
