Description: The old manor house has stood empty for years, left to rot since the last master of the Fenton family died. Until Jess Beddows steps inside and against her family's wishes, she buys the house, promising to bring it back to life. Upstairs, in an attic room left untouched for a century or more, she finds a journal. It holds the heartbreaking tale of Martha, and the entangled lives of the house's servants and masters. As Jess is drawn into their tragedy, the whispers begin. Before long, everything she loves will be threatened by long-kept secrets. Can she survive the echoes from the past?
