Opis

In 1970, scandal rocks a small village in the Adirondack Mountains. The wealthy summer community dissolves overnight, and the town falls into a dark, downward spiral. Years later, a beautiful stranger with an untraceable past moves to town, awakening the people's long buried guilt and fear. Only Ben Chapman, a lifelong bachelor, sees the newcomer as a lifeline out of despair. He invokes the wrath of his fellow citizens by first defending and then befriending Devon Wells. With fatherly devotion, Ben tries to shield her from the town's hostility, but she seems oblivious to it. As their relationship evolves, Ben becomes aware of the strange split in Devon's mind that causes her to shift from reality to fantasy. In response to Devon's interest in the town and as a catharsis for himself, Ben begins to recount the history of Glendon Lake. HEARTSONG IS... A MYSTERY: What destroyed the village of Glendon Lake? Why has beautiful, 32 year old Devon Wells chosen to make her home in this isolated, hostile mountain village? PSYCHOLOGICAL: A story of betrayal and loss, guilt and forgiveness. What causes a mind to self-divide and how can it be healed? A LOVE STORY: The power of love to heal, unite and transcend the physical realm. MYSTICAL: Are past and present, this life and the next, separate realities or merely echoes of each other? Are there alternate dimensions of reality? "The characters are lovingly and enchantingly drawn, and we become enmeshed immediately into the fabric of their lives. It's beautifully written, and holds one's interest causing the reader to go just one more chapter. And then another, and another."
