ABOUT THE BOOK

Sam Travis lives in a Civil War era farmhouse in Gettysburg, PA, where he awakens one morning to find an old journal with an entry by a Union soldier, Lt. Whiting…written in Sam’s own handwriting. When this happens several more times, both at night and during waking “trances,” Sam begins to question his own sanity while becoming obsessed with Lt. Whiting and his bone-chilling journal entries. As the entries begin to mimic Sam’s own life, he is drawn into an evil plot that could cost many lives, including his own.

Can the unconditional love of Sam's daughter, Eva, break through his hardened heart before a killer on the loose catches up with them and Sam’s past spurs him to do the unthinkable?

MY THOUGHTS:
While reading this book you will become one with the characters, you will be thrown into suspense and danger and a little girl's love will be there to help you.  The immense love of Sam's daughter is incredible, she gives her love openly and without asking for anything in return, Sam's wife is another wonderful person and they are just the type of family Sam needs as he battles with his past.  There is no lack of energy in this book and not only will it keep you on your toes until the very end, but it is a book that you will not want to put down until you've come to the end.  Even then, you'll long for more!
