About this book:

In "The Echoes We Left Behind," the sudden death of matriarch Alice Harper forces her three estranged children—Rachel, Simon, and Will—back to their childhood home, a grand Victorian mansion laden with unspoken resentments. Bound by Alice's peculiar will, which demands they live together in the house for three months or forfeit their inheritance, the siblings reluctantly embark on a journey through their mother's meticulously preserved life. What begins as a practical task of settling an estate soon spirals into a thrilling excavation of devastating family secrets, revealing hidden diaries, mysterious letters from their deceased father, and disturbing artwork that hints at a forgotten past.

As they peel back layers of deception, they uncover the shocking existence of a lost sister, Eleanor, sent away decades ago under mysterious circumstances. The house itself becomes a character, seemingly holding traumatic memories of a seventy-year-old murder—a hidden crime committed by the property's original builder, Jeremiah Thorne. Faced with the unsettling possibility of an inherited haunting and their mother's desperate, misguided attempts to suppress the truth, Rachel, Simon, and Will must confront not only the ghosts of the past but also their own fractured relationships. This gripping modern family saga delves into the profound impact of secrets, the complex nature of forgiveness, and the enduring power of truth to heal even the deepest wounds, offering a compelling narrative of betrayal, atonement, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
