Sophia and her daughters make a bold move from the suburbs of Boston to the wilderness of Maine. They leave all they know behind on a quest for tranquility. The house they moved into was built in 1787 and with a yard bigger than any neighborhood they have ever lived in prior. However, things begin to test their endurance with the history of the house coming alive before their very eyes. Odd things occur all around them that bring their reality and sanity to question.

Sophia and her children knew normal in all sense of the word, yet needed peace from all that surrounded them on issues that prompted the move. Sophia worked hard to make her dream of being a writer in a way to better support her children. With their new house, they realized a life only read about with a huge antique house and endless acres to roam about and to have the farm they always cherished in their hearts. In leaving everything for a new life, it is a huge risk, but to have to deal with things beyond the normal comprehension, things tend to be a bit more challenging.

Would this woman be allowed her dream, or would something maleficent take that away? Not all on the paranormal plane is sinister, for there are those forces who want resolution and for the wickedness to leave as those living on the adjacent material plane do. I

This tale is about all Sophia is determined to gain for her children and the challenges battled along the way. It is one thing to have a quest to reach a goal, and quite the other, for a goal to be constantly blocked by forces beyond the tangible realm surrounding. She holds on dear to all she knows with all she has in tenacious fortitude to fight for the serenity she so desperately yearns for.

This is a story of a woman determined to conquer the maniacal forces that have entered her life material and paranormal. She moves to a land protected by the Abenaki tribe long before the initial settlers ever stepped foot in the vast wilderness surrounding. This tale also brings to light; the tales of those who stayed behind long after their remains have turned to dust. Can two worlds reside in unison and peace? This is the question one must consider when delving into this eloquently rendered tale as it piques issues inherently bold and not often mentioned openly in this modern era.
