In All Deep Places

Harvest House, 2006

Luke Foxbourne, a successful East Coast writer with a big problem. The deadline for his next book is fast approaching and Luke can’t get past Chapter 10. While struggling with this dilemma, his father suffers a devastating stroke and Luke finds himself suddenly back in his quiet Iowa hometown. While keeping his father’s newspaper in print while he recovers, Luke is reunited with unsettling memories of Norah — the first girl he ever kissed — and her little brother Kieran. The seventeen years he has been away seem to dissolve as Luke spends night after night in his old bedroom, looking out his window to the empty house next door where Norah and Kieran lived; and where heartache found an easy home. To his surprise, Luke suddenly feels empowered again to write; empowered not to write the next chapter of his manuscript but to write something else instead: Norah's story. And his own.
