About this audiobook
New England, 1910. Clara Whitmore comes home to sell her late aunt’s house and finds a woman measuring the windows for curtains she cannot afford. The boarders are still there, the mortgage is coming due, and Aunt Ruth’s last letter asks Clara to learn what became of the winter money.
Her search leads to an old mill fire and a truth about the father she has spent years defending. At the garden gate, she meets Nathan again after sixteen years. As their old affection stirs, Clara must decide what she owes to the dead and what she can promise the people who still call the house home.
The House That Kept the Light is a historical novel of family secrets, quiet love, and the courage to begin again.
