A haunting and seductive tale of a young career woman who slides quickly into the role of stepmother, in a life that may still belong to someone else. Vivid, addictive, and crackling with life (yes, even the ghost), House of Beth asks us to consider how and why we make the lives we make (Lynn Steger Strong).

After a heart-wrenching breakup with her girlfriend and a shocking incident at her job, Cassie flees her life as an overworked assistant in New York for her hometown in New Jersey, along the Delaware. There, she reconnects with her high school best friend, Eli, now a widowed father of two. Their bond reignites, and within a few short months, Cassie is married to Eli, living in his house in the woods, homeschooling the kids, and getting to know her reserved neighbor, Joan.

But Cassies fresh start is less idyllic than shed hoped. She grapples with harm OCD, her mind haunted by gory, graphic images. And shes afraid that shell never measure up to Elis late spouse, who was a committed homemaker and traditional wife. No matter what Cassie does, Beths shadow still permeates every corner of their home.

Soon, Cassie starts hearing a voice narrating the houses secrets. As she listens, the voice grows stronger, guiding Cassie down a path to uncover the truth about Beths untimely death.
