Jessica stared at her father in disbelief as she said to herself, No Dad, she was not mistaken. You would not believe me if I told you it was Asa. You would not believe me if I told you I wrote about Asa and that he really exists. He came for Larry. I know he did. You knew about Susie all the time, didnt you, Asa? And thats why, on the mountain, you said children instead of child. I will tell Nick and he will believe me, but you wouldnt believe me, Dad. You are such a realist. You would never believe me.

Ultimately, Rose realizes what is most important in her life: her family and her friends. ---------- Rosebloom takes place at a time in history that buffets Rose between the great depression and the coming wave of World War II.

When a hiker suddenly goes missing and a ransom note arrives, Raleigh vows to find the missing college girl and leave no stone unturned.

Not again! Where is that music coming from? It was after two oclock in the morning, and LeAnn was looking out the living room window towards the lake. She couldnt believe her eyes; her heart raced. There it was again, a white light floating on the boathouse walkway. Twenty-year-old LeAnn Klein had just bought Tabor Island with its almost two-hundred-year-old house and boathouse. The beautiful old home was on Namakagon Lake in northern Wisconsin. What is that? she whispered, scared. Did she dare go down there and see what it was? She stared at the light and could still hear the music. Pull yourself together, LeAnn, she said out loud, walking away from the window. This is a safe lake. There havent been any break-ins or She stopped mid-sentence. The music had stopped. She ran back to the window. The light has gone. Confused and frightened, she ran up the stairs to look out her bedroom window. Still no light on the walkway. She opened the window. No music. Thunder rumbled in the distance. She needed to sleep. Closing the window, she turned and sat on her bed. Leaving the lights and her clothes on, she pulled the blankets over her head and fell asleep almost immediately. She was in a deep sleep as the white light floated back and forth on the boathouse walkway. The music began to play.
