A SOUND AMONG THE TREES

Susan Meissner is a master at story and setting, and has a way of completely sweeping the reader to another time and place. In A Sound Among the Trees, two story lines unfold with the past influencing the future for a family struggling to understand their lives inside a historic Southern home. The italics used for about 100 pages made the reading a bit more difficult, but didn't detract from the story itself. Both haunting and hopeful, this is one of those books you don't want to end.

HIGHLY enjoyable!

Blurb:

As a young bride, Susannah Page was rumored to be a Civil War spy for the North, a traitor to her Virginian roots. Her great-granddaughter Adelaide, the current matriarch of Holly Oak, doesn’t believe that Susannah’s ghost haunts the mansion, but that the house itself bears a grudge toward its tragic past. As Marielle struggles to fit into her new role as wife and stepmother, unsettled by the strange sense of sorrow she feels inside Holly Oak’s walls, she must uncover the truth about Susannah, and reconcile her belief that it is people—not houses—that hang on to the past. History can’t be undone, but truth uncovered can set the women of Holly Oak free.
