The House on the Bend - by M E Reach (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Davis Allen's life changes the night he loses control of his truck and destroys the fence of the house on the bend. It's the same night he sees his old man remove his hat to speak to the elderly woman in the porch light.

Liam King has tried to live honorably in the eyes of the folks of Harrison since the accident, but when he sees a car stop an' dump a young woman on the side of the road before it speeds away a choice must be made.

As the past creeps into the light, bringing clarity to Davis, an' lies and false accusations to Liam, an old story finally finds an ending to heal the entire town.

With this raw, emotional, passionate storyline, M.E. Reach will have you unable to put the book down. The House on the Bend is a story about guilt, shame, reconciliation, and the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. A story everyone can relate to in one thing or another, and something every believer should read at least once.

The House on the Bend captures the messiness of humanity in such a raw way. The authentic struggle to do what is right...is illustrated and the significant impact of relationships with others on our lives is emphasized. Long after the last page has been turned, the characters will live on; especially, as I imagine a day when I'll be brave enough to go to the top of a Ferris wheel, too!
