Where Yesterday Lives

At 31, Ellen Barrett is an accomplished journalist and Pulitzer prize-winner. But when it comes to her personal life, Ellen's ability to sort through problems don't exactly earn her brownie points. So when she returns to her hometown for her father's funeral, Ellen is less than eager. Her husband is distant and her siblings antagonistic. Ellen realizes that, before true healing can begin, she must reopen old wounds. From her first step to healing to full and final recovery, Where Yesterday Lives follows Ellen's sentimental and often painful journey to the shores of Little Traverse Bay. Only by reaching into the past can Ellen reclaim her future.

At thirty-one, Ellen Barrett has already won a Pulitzer prize. Sadly, though, her skill as a journalist far surpasses her ability to sort out her troubled past, so she''s less than eager to return to picturesque Petoskey, Michigan, for her beloved father''s funeral. When she most needs comfort, her husband is distant and her siblings antagonistic -- and the solace an old sweetheart offers is almost too much to resist. In the end, going home to the shores of Little Traverse Bay is an emotional and spiritual journey for Ellen -- a rediscovery of what is truly important and eternal in her life.
