THE Gatehouse  (English, Paperback, Corby Kim)

Amber grows up carefree and content with her mother in their cosy home The Gatehouse. Happy childhood days played out in the wood and the garden of The Big House away down the drive, a place to which she is always enticed, but forbidden to play, and always warned to stay away. Befriended by a gypsy boy the beguiling Jem, Amber is told she is always watched over, and never alone. Why are these words foretold? Amber's dreams of entering The Big House are at last fulfilled by a chance encounter with an elderly gentleman out one day in the wood; a key is given, in exchange for her silence; a secret. What secrets will she unlock? Why does she never feel alone? So Amber's journey begins. Can Amber unlock the past family love, or a family lost? Can Amber lay the past to rest and in doing so bring back the love and maybe find a love of her own? But above else all can she lay a restless spirit to finally rest in peace?
