The Calico Tapestry Evelyn Roberts Brooks

In the tradition of romantic suspense Grand Masters Mary Stewart, Phyllis Whitney and Barbara Michaels, this well-crafted supernatural mystery embroils a young mother, Madeline Clark, and her four-year-old son Tommy in a dangerous game of murder and psychic manipulation. Set in a lonely old mansion overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Madeline's visit to an elderly and wealthy recluse, Mrs. Lawrence, turns into an enforced stay due to mysterious circumstances. During a torrential rainstorm that keeps the entire family trapped together, Madeline enters a world of light and shadow, where she soon feels that everything she experiences is actually a test of what she believes about life, love and loyalty. Meeting Luke Lawrence turns her views of romance upside down, but can she trust her heart or is it betraying her? Evelyn Roberts Brooks is a writer in Los Angeles. Learn more at evelynbrooks.com
