A suspense novel interwoven with threads of romance and paranormal.
Imagine discovering everything you believe about yourself to be a lie. And that the truth could stir a killer from his lair.
Following the death of the woman she believed to be her mother, 28-year-old Naomi Waters learns from a malicious aunt that she is not only adopted, but the product of a brutal rape that left her birth mother, Mary Rose Francis, a teenager of Micmac ancestry, in a coma for 8 months.
Dealing with a sense of betrayal and loss, but with new purpose in her life, Naomi vows to track down Mary Rose's attackers and bring them to justice. She places her story in the local paper, asking for information from residents who might remember something of the case that has been cold for nearly three decades.

"…Ms. Hovey's talent in creating characters is so real, you feel their emotions and their fears. You want to yell at them to warn of the danger . . . and you do! Your shouts fall on deaf ears . . . and you cry!
Alfred Hitchcock and Stephen King come to mind, but JOAN HALL HOVEY is in a Class by herself!…" ~ J.D. Michael Phelps, Author of My Fugitive, David Janssen
"…CANADIAN MISTRESS OF SUSPENSE…The author has a remarkable ability to turn up the heat on the suspense… great characterizations and dialogue…" ~ James Anderson, author of Deadline
"Joan Hall Hovey clearly takes her place among today's contemporary writers as this page-turner can compete with any mystery novel on the shelves..." Linda Hersey, Fredericton Gleaner.
O'Malley's Cottage by Ronald Ady Crouch
Rebecca Parker-Brown has the perfect life, wealthy husband and loving daughter. Life among Toronto’s elite couldn’t be better. When she discovers the ultimate betrayal, Rebecca and Emma move to a remote cottage on the outskirts of Algonquin Provincial Park to start life over again. A chance encounter with a passing stranger changes her future forever. She endures much heartache and suffering on the journey ahead. When her daughter is lost in the Algonquin wilderness during a severe snow storm, on what should have been their first Christmas together in O’Malley’s Cottage, Rebecca reaches breaking point.
"What a great book! You get to love the characters and they inspire you. The beauty of nature, the animals, and the love of people touch you. A story I won't forget!" ~ 5 Stars, Merry Reader, Amazon Reader and Verified Purchase
"This book really tugged at my heart strings. I found myself really caring about the characters. It had me laughing and crying. The Omalley's were people that anyone would love to call friends. The Browns came into their lives at a time when the Omalley's needed them. (and when the Brown' really needed them) A great book for people who believe in people and for animal lovers too." ~ 5 Stars, SC, Amazon Reader and Verified Purchase
