House of Reckoning: A Novel

After the untimely death of her mother and the arrest of her father for killing a man in barroom brawl, fourteen-year-old Sarah Crane is forced to grow up fast. Left in the cold care of a foster family and alienated at school, Sarah befriends classmate Nick Dunnigan, a former mental patient still plagued by voices and visions, and the eccentric art instructor Bettina Phillips, a mentor eager to nurture Sarahâ€™s talent for painting. But within the walls of Bettinaâ€™s ancestral mansion, Sarah finds that monstrous images from the houseâ€™s dark history seem to flow unbidden from her paintbrushâ€”images echoed by Nickâ€™s chilling hallucinations. It seems the violence and fury of long-dead generations have finally found a gateway from the grave into the world of the living. And Sarah and Nick have found a power they never had: to take control, and take revenge.
