REVIEW:
In The House on Slocum Road, author Dahris Clair offers a spooky little story about a woman who finds herself by searching in the past. As a little girl, Lottie lost herself and her unique gift. When it comes back to her, she must learn to accept herself, as she really is, not as the person others—including her well-meaning husband—want her to be.
Clair's style is reminiscent of Barbara Michaels' in her paranormal romantic suspense novels. Clair is wonderfully attuned to the details of daily life that bestow a feeling of place--the rose and gold glow of a fire kindling, church bells pealing over a snowy field. This is a cozy sort of ghost story, perfect for a winter night in front of a fire.
