"Mary DeMuth is an evocative, beautiful storyteller. She will move you emotionally, she will impact you spiritually." --Tosca Lee

Willa Muir has spent her life chasing a past she can't remember. A full year of her childhood is missing, locked away behind an impenetrable wall of forgotten trauma. With her parents gone, she has no one left to ask--only cryptic words from her mother's deathbed and a lingering sense that something in her past doesn't add up.

When her fiancé proposes, Willa panics. How can she commit to a future when her own past remains a mystery? Desperate for answers, she returns to her childhood home in Rockwall, Texas, determined to uncover the truth. But the deeper she digs, the more tangled the past becomes--especially when an old love reappears, bringing back emotions she thought she'd left behind.

As long-buried secrets come to light, Willa must decide: Will she let the truth heal her--or will it destroy everything she's built?

Discover the truth waiting within The Muir House--where the past lingers, love endures, and finding home is never as simple as it seems.

DeMuth has guts.

Mary DeMuth's stories retain interest and mystery while realistically putting words to the very real agony of trauma's effects. She walks us through a process of healing. She KNOWS something the Christian world at-large often wants to bury and she is not afraid to be honest in un-burying it. This is the best of fiction: sculpting with words so that all can see. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and clinical depression are subjects in need of real ministry. Their agonies are often addressed in Scripture, but not often in churches, except to minimize and demonize.
Thank-you Mary, for showing us all the beauty of depth that comes through those who have been broken.
