About this ebook
In this unique novel, Elena journeys from her teens through adulthood. She harbors a dark secret for years. Adding suspense and intrigue, a parallel storyline emerges about a New England family commencing from the Civil War to the end of the nineteenth century. These two families intersect in a profound way. The narrative is viewed through Elena's vivid imagination. As she searches for truth and love, she learns to accept losses on this extensive journey of discovery and justice.
The story begins in Elena's teenage years in Jersey City, New Jersey and follows her through the hustling town of Chicago, to glamorous Hollywood, California and sedate Walpole, NH. In Chicago she meets people who inform her life. In Hollywood, Elena transforms from a naive girl to an impressionable young woman. Later, in rural Walpole, New Hampshire she addresses previous taxing life's challenges. Throughout the novel, historical references from years past enrich the narrative.
Elena's extraordinary life is colored by fears, tears, laughter, and life's lessons. You will be drawn in as you observe her grow from an innocent and insecure young girl to an enlightened and fully developed woman of substance. Elena's extraordinary journey will scare you with Tricks and delight you with Treats.
