Book Details Title: Forever Hidden (The Treasures of Nome) | |
Book DescriptionFrom the Inside Flap Havyn smiled as her grandfather walked out the door. How she loved her family. With a glance around the room that had been their gathering place every night since 1892, images washed over her.The exquisite grand piano that Granddad paid for in gold and had shipped up from Seattle so their mother could play for hours each day and teach all of them music. The massive windows that looked out upon the beautiful rolling hills surrounding their farm–how many fingerprints and smudges had she and her sisters made on those panes when they were younger? The dark, wood shelves filled to the brim with music and books.Oh, how she loved this room! It was so warm and inviting, with the massive stone fireplace in the corner. They’d practiced their instruments, sung their hearts out, had their own concerts, and even held Sunday services here.She’d also been told more than one secret in this room. Probably because she was a good listener and she also knew how to keep a confidence–She wrapped her arms around her middle and looked back to the window.Dad.He used to tell her secrets.Oh, how she missed him. Her little-girl memories of him were a treasure.Why did they have to leave him buried on the mountain in Cripple Creek? It seemed so cold and unforgiving up there. As a child, that was the part she couldn’t understand. Even now as an adult, it felt . . . wrong somehow.|Tracie Peterson is the bestselling, award-winning author of more than 100 novels.
