HOW CAN SHE FIGHT BACK WHEN SHE DOUBTS HER OWN SANITY?

On the day Kendra celebrates her thirtieth birthday, she can't account for two missing hours. Is her mind playing a trick on her? Or is something else happening ... something too horrifying to acknowledge?

Having recently moved into a hundred-year-old house with her husband Joel, she's a woman with troubles on her mind. A woman who keeps secrets and lies, the kinds of secrets and lies gentle folk don't want to hear about. Such as madness running in her family. And hearing strange noises in the attic ... rats, whisperings, and a ghost child crying in the night.

When Kendra and Joel decide to renovate the attic, the skeletal remains of a child is uncovered. Setting out to solve the mysterious death of this ghost child, Kendra tracks down the history of the house and stumbles onto a revealing pattern. A string of homeowners resold the house shortly after moving in. Even more revealing, their successive purchases lead back to the owners who lived there nearly a half-century ago.

One afternoon, Kendra's mother makes two confessions, one about her father's recent death and the other about an incident that happened almost thirty years ago. For Kendra, it changes everything.

This first book of ILLUSIONS-a two-part psychological thriller-will draw you into the sagas of several families inextricably linked with a house haunted by more than one ghost.

Note: Portions of this story were previously published as a single volume entitled Trick of the Mind. ILLUSIONS is the expanded two-part series containing a major new subplot and extra twists and turns.
