The Cottage: An American Gothic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781914147173)

John and Katie Mears are searching for a new beginning, and with the purchase of their dream home in colonial Connecticut, they think they've found it. A place to raise their first child and build a life as a family, they turn their backs on New York to start anew. But the birthplace of the American nation has a haunting past, and they find themselves bound by a dark history, one of genocide, a spectre of the country's painful birth in the blood of pilgrim times. The dark crucible of the nation is manifest yet. Blood debt is eternal, and sooner or later history calls for retribution. It is the blood of innocents that pays for the sins of the father.
