Ghosts of Guthrie

"In GHOSTS OF GUTHRIE, Lara Bernhardt not only tells a tale full of excitement, terror, and compelling characters--a narrative that roars like a speedboat down the River Styx; she also does it against a profound background of ideas about faith and what it means in modern-day America. Like her protagonist Kimberly Wantland, Bernhardt explores otherworldly questions she knows have no easy answers, determined to shed some light on what she discovers. It's a wonderfully satisfying and cinematic novel, richer and deeper than it has any right to be."--John Wooley, author of Wes Craven: The Man Aand His Nightmares and co-author of The Cleansing trilogy

With a mob of protestors harassing her every move, a poltergeist plaguing the family, and her relationship with Sterling heating up, Kimberly faces her most difficult case yet. But nothing stays buried forever. Kimberly will face down hell itself to defeat the spirit possessing Faith and to put the ghosts of Guthrie to rest.
