Soul Searching by Beth Hanggeli

When we refuse to forgive, we lose a piece of our soul. But where do those pieces go? And how do we get them back? When her long-lost aunt Deirdre is murdered, Tara Davies inherits the family home, which has sat empty for decades. She reluctantly agrees to restore it, but soon discovers that the house doesn’t obey the laws of physics. Doors lock and unlock on their own, a hole in the wall refuses to stay patched, and a mermaid guards a pirate’s treasure. Eventually, she has to admit that, as crazy as it sounds, the house has something to teach her – if it doesn’t kill her first. Tara has to battle obstacles, both seen and unseen, to uncover the secrets that the house protects. And when faced with the ultimate betrayal, must decide what price she’s willing to pay to earn - or deny - forgiveness.
