Promises Laid To Rest

Elizabeth was drawn back to Oak Hill because its people and history had such a profound impact on her life. As the storyteller, she reflects on a simple but compelling place that had isolated itself from the aggression of progress by clinging to the memory and legacy of its intriguing past. The horrible mining accident that killed Martin Phelps and the legend of the wedding bodice found by a famous dignitary and his wife would shape the town's history for decades. After many years, Jonathan Crosby knew it was time for Oak Hill to give way to progress. The elderly gentleman leaves Oak Hill and begins his journey to find Violet's descendants, hoping he can fulfill the unspoken promise. The reader follows Jonathan and is introduced to a host of characters along the way. The adventure details his insights into the places he visits, the situations he encounters and the people he meets.
