Kaine Prescott is no stranger to death.  When her husband died two years ago, her pleas fo further investigation into his suspicious demise fell on deaf ears.  In desperate need of a fresh start, Kaine purchases an old house sight unseen in her grandfather's Wisconsin hometown.  But one look at the eerie, abandoned house immediately leaves her questioning her f=rash decision.  And when the house's dark history comes back with a vengeance, Kaine is forced to face the terrifying realization she has nowhere left to hide.

A century earlier, the house on Foster Hill holds nothing buy painful memories for Ivy Thorpe.  When an unidentified woman is found dead on the property, Ivy is compelled to discover her identity.  Ivy's search leads her into dangerous waters, resurrecting painful memories and forcing a reunion with the man who broke her heart.  Can Ivy unravel the mystery and find a renewed hope before any other lives - including her own - are lost?

My Thoughts:
In her debut novel, The House on Foster Hill, Jaime Jo Wright has written an hauntingly beautiful story.  Wright grabs readers' attention with the very first line

"Death had a way of creeping up on a soul, and Ivy Thorpe was determined that when it visited her, she would not be surprised."

and secures it until the very last

"We live, right on into eternity."

In between those two lines is a collision of past and present.  Wright presents a cast of characters that have depth and are genuine, believable.  She weaves suspense, with more twists and turns than I thought my heart and mind could take at certain points, a bit of romance, and a lesson on true identity and worth that will leave readers pondering the truths long after the book is placed on the shelf.

I appreciated how Wright wove gospel truth throughout the book that didn't come across as "preachy".  Wright is an author to keep on your radar and her books on your keeper shelf.
