Em's husband : A sequel to "Em
Emolyn Palmer has built a quiet life at the margins of her family's world. But when the Palmers become caretakers of the isolated Wilderness Manor, Em finds herself drawn into a house thick with secrets: a veiled portrait that no one dare unmask, whispers of hauntings in the night, and the reverent presence of a blind preacher whose influence permeates the estate. Into this atmosphere of mystery and restraint steps Ronald Bruce, an honorable naval officer whose clear eyes see past the shadows that frighten others. Southworth weaves romance and suspense with the sure hand of a master storyteller who understood exactly what her readers craved. This is Gothic atmosphere harnessed to emotional ends: a novel about the courage required to uncover truth, to love openly, and to claim one's own story when the world insists you remain in the margins.
