See all formats and editions
When 13-year-old Narie loses her mother to cancer, she is forced to leave the city and move to the country with her grandmother—a woman who is nothing more than a stranger to her. With no Wi-Fi or cell phone reception, Narie is sure her new life in the middle of nowhere is going to be dull and boring. But she discovers her mother’s childhood diaries and embarks on a search for the creepy house in the woods—a house that Narie’s grandmother insists was only a figment of her daughter’s imagination. Things become complicated when Narie realizes that the woods hold much more than a creepy house. Who is the little girl in the white dress? What does she have to do with Narie’s mother? What secret is Narie’s grandmother harboring?

Review

***** You must at some point deal with your past to move on and you can see the difference between Satan the accuser and God's forgiveness. I love the fact that the book held my interest from start to finish. The devil comes to us in many forms and we must be prepared to fight he knows when we are children of God with real authority over him and in the name of Jesus he must leave. This book help bring that point home...great read. ~ Goodreads*****There are many books labeled Christian Paranormal , but sometimes you can't determine if they are truly Christian or have crossed the line into secular. With Shelly you don't have to wonder, the Christian message comes through clearly in a thought provoking and powerful way . There are times when your addictions will strangle and destroy you and others. But, there is hope in Christ, you have to be willing to surrender to Him and repent. ~ Goodreads

From the Author

Shelley began as a story about how fun childhood can be when you live in the country without technology. It quickly turned into something much deeper, and the characters took me to a dark place that needed to be explored. It is my prayer that as you read this story, you realize that demons are real, Christians are not perfect, and that we live in a sinful world where childhood traumas create wounds in our souls. I have had readers ask me if I plan to write a sequel to this story since the ending is wide open, and I am not saying I won't. I would love to revisit these characters. Thank you for your interest in Shelley and God bless, Cynthia P. Willow

3.0 out of 5 stars Page turner with PG 17+ topics
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2016

This is an extreamly hard review to write. This book is a page turner. It's very well written. However, it covers topics that are not suitable to everyone. If you are sensitive to rape, molestation, incest, or child abuse, this might not be the book for you. I put this book in my book club without having read it first, and it was almost a disastrous event. We didn't know those topics would be covered. Not knowing this can blindside and hurt people. I had nightmares for about three days. I would have been better prepared if I had known these topics were included in the book, and could have braced myself. I was able to warn my book club before it hurt some of my other members in that same way. That is the reason I am posting this information in this review. I have never had to do this before.

Past that, it's a moving read, though it is a very sad one. This book is paranormal. It has exceedingly strong imagery, and some Scripture. I didn't like the ending, because it was sad. I found it very depressing to me, even though part of the ending was very realistic. Parts of this book were totally illogical, tragic, and frankly, criminal. However, these things can and do happen in real life. It does class as a realistic horror story.

This was a really good ghost story. Some of the subject matter was very mature but the author did a great job making sure it wasn't profane. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely recommend this to fans of ghost/horror stories.

Very strong message of learning to hear from the Lard and how unforgiveness deeply wounds the soul but forgiveness sets us free.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful story that is a must to read!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2016
I'm not good at writing reviews but this book was very good and I feel as if I need to write one. As I read this book a couple things became clear. In my own personal life I came to the horrible conclusion that I have lost my closeness with God. I'm not trying to be melodramatic but it just flew in my thoughts that I needed to change back to what I was before. I continued reading Shelley and as the end started to reveal itself I had the darkest feeling overwhelm me. This has happened to me a couple of times, the first time it took me, shaking, the entire night to realize what happened. Dark forces wants our souls and will battle our protectors for it (guardian angels, the Holy Spirit.. Whatever you call it). Reading this book I actually felt the battle for my soul. I will not spoil the book so I'll just say that this book will enlighten you. If you allow it you can learn about yourself while reading Shelley.. Many thanks to the author for writing a book that was educational as well as entertaining to read. I could not put the book down and I have read it twice now. My spirit belongs with Christ not satan, I am forever grateful to this author for waking me up to how lazy I had become, you must continue your work to stay close with God, don't take the spirit for granted...or one day you'll wake up and he will be gone! READ THIS BOOK..it will do wonders for you! CK

3.0 out of 5 stars Audio YR Christian Mistery
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017
Well I must say that although this book is outside of my usual genre it was well written. The character development was done nicely and the mystery was quite intriguing. I thought the narrator sounded a bit old for the character she was reading for and more fluctuation with mood changes would have pushed the audio up another star. I am curious to find out what happens next and I applaud the author.
