Book of the Week: Widow of Saunders Creek
Six months after her
husband dies in a bombing in Iraq, Corrie Saunders moves to her late husband’s
family farm in the Missouri Ozarks. Some of his family resent her presence, but
her late husband’s cousin Eli Saunders welcomes Corrie and helps her to restore
the old farmhouse that she inherited when her husband died. After Corrie moves
into the old farmhouse, strange things begin to happen. Is her husband Jarrod’s
spirit come back to comfort her or is there something more sinister at work in
her house?
Eli Saunders loves
Saunders Creek, and he loves the old family farmhouse where he spent a lot of
his childhood. Helping Corrie to restore the farmhouse brings healing toward
the rivalry and bitterness he felt toward his cousin Jarrod, but something in
the house seems to want to harm him. Eli knows that the house is haunted by a
demon, but can he convince Corrie? Or will she cling to the spirit in her house
because she wants it to be Jarrod?
I found this book to be
intriguing. This book is not your typical Christian romance, and I couldn’t put
it down. It addresses an issue not often thought of or talked about in the
church. Is there such a thing as ghosts? Or is what we put down to ghosts
really demons in disguise? Tracey Bateman has a way of using fiction to bring
out issues that we typically ignore and her journey into paranormal literature
from a Biblical perspective is unique and fresh without being preachy.
