Description
Suspense, Romance, Drama
Forty-four-year-old Forrest Alderson isn’t at all sure of his motives for returning from self-imposed exile to Asher Heights, West Virginia, to see his hometown for the first time since he graduated from college. All he knows for certain is it’s something he has to do if he is to find out whether he can break free from the tragedy that compelled him to flee or whether he is forever doomed to be imprisoned by it.
He has spent the intervening twenty-three years in sacrificial preparation, striving obsessively to become enormously wealthy with one exclusive goal: to at long last take possession of Old Mrs. Kimble’s mansion, no matter the cost, and let that magnificent structure he has coveted since he was a poor boy stand as proof to one and all that native son Forrest Walker Alderson has done himself proud.
Or could it be his return is motivated – as his attorney, Olivia Fillmore, fears – by revenge, an evil desire to rub his great wealth and success into the face of the one person who caused him to hermit himself away all those years without a wife, children, or even a close friend?
To have any chance of finding the answers he so desperately needs, Forrest will have to struggle through a challenging new romance, an addiction to a perilous old love, a sensational murder trial, and the inevitable decision about what to do with the rest of his life.

An early copy of this book was sent to me by Netgalley free for review. I liked it because I grew up in WV and later lived there as an adult off and on. I was familiar with the places takes about in the book. I also received my Master’s from Marshall U. Local boy succeeds...love wins out...murder and mayhem...themes one enjoys while discerning who really did it...try this one...enjoyable...hope he does a sequel as it ended abruptly.

I want to thank NetGalley for a copy of this book. I found the story interesting. Forrest the main character lives as a poor child next to a decaying mansion. He was going to marry the love of his life and the week before she dumps him for Leroy, the towns bad boy.
Hurt and destroyed he makes it his lives purpose to make so much money he can buy the mansion.
The question in the books story as it develops is why, revenge, status, draw the love back into his life.
As the story unfolds there are children in consideration, additional marriages, and a murder to add to the intrigue.
I do not think this is a mystery, it is more like a love story. It would have been nice to know more about the mansion in Asher Heights, VA.
It was nice to read the scenery in West Virginia I am familiar with the beautiful areas. Especially in comparison to Chicago where his lawyer Olivia comes from in the story and has feeling for Forrest.
