When Walls Talk

I am 132 Maple Drive, the 1928 two-story craftsman with the gabled roof and welcoming front porch. I have been many colors throughout the years—different hues of paint, layers of wallpaper, hardwood floors, carpets, linoleum, tile, new windows, new roof…change was a constant for me. But I was always ‘home’ to those I housed… I really did love all my families; some were easier to love than others that’s for certain, but I loved them all.

Travel through time in this beautiful story told from a unique perspective. Five families and nearly one hundred years of history, narrated by the house that saw and heard it all. Today the walls are talking…sharing the stories and struggles of those five wonderful families. Meet the Nortons, Jensens, Karchners, Krebs, and the Reeds as they navigate through life’s up and downs, joys and disappointments, trials and triumphs. Set against a backdrop of significant historical events and American pop culture, this is truly a delightful walk down memory lane.

“A trip through history with characters you feel like you know.”–Lana Marin, M. Ed.

To Have and to Hold

She’s sure she’ll never love him. He’s sure he’ll never stop.

All Sir Percy Somerville wanted from his wife was her love. But after watching her meet his devotion with coldness for four years, he makes the devastating choice to withdraw his heart before it shatters completely.

Lady Cecily Somerville thought she loved another when Sir Percy arranged their marriage, and four years hasn’t been sufficient to eliminate her resentment. But just as she discovers her former love was not the honourable man she supposed him to be, Percy retracts his attentions. Left to stew in the consequences of her actions, she begins to question what love is, and if she could ever love her husband.

The trouble is, she might have left it too late to win him back.
