"Future owners would realize the house above the wall had its secrets, as all vintage places do; pull away the vines and there were hidden doors; open doors and there were winding staircases. Loose bricks hid childhood treasures tucked away in moments of guileless intrigue. Dark spaces concealed more clandestine activities..."
Architect Maddie Bowers and her husband Russell are immersed in a significant and historic revitalization project. There are obstacles at every turn, as events raise the intensity. Even the house won't cooperate, and its mysterious builders speak from the past.
The story captures a space in time that is worthy of our attention, just as preservation work is worthy of our ongoing and diligent efforts. --
