The latest novel by award winning author of the Mallard Conspiracy, Sylvia Hornback. SYNOPSIS: At dawn on a sweltering summer day scrabbling sounds alerted Jeanne of the intruder downstairs. The pull chain rattled against the light bulb in the kitchen. Instantly a sliver of yellow light raced up the stairs and into her bedroom. Someone was moving about inside the house, and had even been bold enough to turn on a light. It wasn't the first time she'd awakened to the sounds of this intruder. REVIEWS: "A well written cativating story with realistic settings that create a true to life picture of the 1940 time period." "A revealing focus of neglect and abuse between a self centered mother and coming of age daughter who tugs at your heart!!" "One almost expects Jeanne to step out of the pages into your life at any time." "REAL LIVE PERSON FEEL." "Truly, a book that you DO NOT want to put down!"
