Book 2 in DuBois Manor series It’s 1915 and the doors of DuBois Manor are to open again welcoming a new generation. As each rusty nail is pried off the windows brilliant light once again filters in allowing the stained glass to breathe. Remnants of the tainted past are tucked in the attic in Annabelle’s beloved diaries. Dusty and mildewed, the ink will reveal all. J.W. and Teddy, sons of the DuBois dynasty, build a shipping empire launching the first American trans-Atlantic luxury liner, Windswept at Sea. Her stately beauty and majestic presence far outweigh any other ocean line of her time. The waters she sails are rarely calm much like a reflection of her owners. Fearless Charlotte and worried Julia, wives of the sons, find themselves consumed in the diaries and the frightening truth they shed. The curious pair embarks on a whirlwind journey to uncover what was best left a dark secret. Julia finds herself terrified. Caught up in a whirlwind that will plunge her into an obscure cursed world she feared would destroy all those who chase it. For courageous Charlotte, it’s an adventure into the abysmal swamps of Louisiana. Black magic and a wicked voodoo witch were best left alone. World War 1 interrupts this time of progress and achievement for DuBois shipping. Temptations and reckless trysts tainted with sins of the past will haunt the family for generations to come. Not to mention what is uncovered in the bottomless dank swamps of the Bayou will divulge the truth. Once revealed there is no going back or be free of Marta.
