Inspired by the author's overnight stay in a historical haunted house, The Restoration is a thrilling tale of intrigue, murder, and family secrets that refuse to stay buried.
It was the perfect opportunity…or so she thought. When Terri Foxworth is hired to spend a year restoring a crumbling manor house, she believes she's hit the jackpot. She moves in with her young daughter and high hopes for the project's success. As the restoration begins to go terribly wrong, she realizes dark forces won't let her leave the house until its horrible secrets are revealed.
This job could very well be the death of her.
