Yikes. This book was not for me. It started out great. An abandoned house, a little boy seeing a ghost, secrets, & house with history that has been forgotten. However, for a lot of it I felt like I was being lectured. A history lesson of the Shakers & Indigenous people. Indians being mistreated. A woman dealing with alcoholism & a contentious relationship with her family. The chapters were incredibly long. One was over an hour long. When you feel like you’re being lectured, well, my eyes were getting glazed over. This felt all over the place. I enjoyed the house & wanted more from that & the ghost angle. Unfortunately, by 80% I was ready for it to be done. I personally felt like this story didn’t have the flow that made me want to keep reading.
