By the time the wilderness where Nathan built his home has grown into a suburb of Detroit, the Kingsley House has seen wicked deeds, a summer of lost childhood, a suicide, and a chance to fall in love a second time.\u003cbr\u003eArliss Ryan vividly brings over one hundred years of American history to life through the unforgettable story of a simple family house--and the generations whose lives passed within its walls.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 2000 by St. Martin's Press, this is the 2012 electronic version of the original novel.","brand":"Arliss Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169015054576,"sku":"2940016245782","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016245782_p0.jpg?v=1763631429","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016245782","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
