"It's been a long time since I've been so thoroughly engrossed in a novel . . . The Lost Castle kept me spellbound!" -Tamera Alexander, USA TODAY bestselling author of To Whisper Her Name and Christmas at CarntonBroken-down walls and crumbling stones seemed to possess a secret language all their own.What stories would they tell, if she finally listened?Ellie Carver arrives at her grandmother's bedside expecting to find her silently slipping away. Instead, the beloved woman begins speaking. Of a secret past and castle ruins forgotten by time. Of a hidden chapel that served as a rendezvous for the French Resistance in World War II. Of lost love and deep regret . . .Each piece that unlocks the story seems to unlock par...t of Ellie too-where she came from and who she is becoming. But her grandmother is quickly disappearing into the shadows of Alzheimer's and Ellie must act fast if she wants to uncover the truth of her family's history.
