About this listen
It’s 1968, and Sheldon and Meg Crane have just moved their family from Pennsylvania to the small town of Black Mountain, NC. Sheldon, recently ousted from the ministry due to an illicit affair, takes a job as a used-car salesman at his brother-in-law's auto dealership.
Burdened by his wife’s unforgiveness and his daughter’s resentment over the move to “Barney Fife country”, Sheldon finds a measure of solace in his eight-year-old son’s ability to cope.
After settling into an old house high on the side of a mountain, the family discovers their new home is no ordinary place. Family members occasionally see and speak with the home’s previous residents - and the ones who will live there in the future.
While attempting to come to terms with this portal to the past and future, their son, Digger, suddenly disappears. Was he kidnapped, or did Digger wander off into the mountains and become lost?
The answer lies in a place once beyond a time - in a realm where the mysterious power of forgiveness removes sorrow and heals even the most egregious sins.

Story
The underground mine fires ravaging Pennsylvania coal country have forced 11-year-old Brigid Howley and her family to seek refuge with her estranged grandparents, the formidable Gram and the black lung-stricken Gramp. Tragedy is no stranger to the Howleys, a proud Irish-American clan who takes strange pleasure in the "curse" laid upon them generations earlier by a priest who ran afoul of the Molly Maguires. The weight of this legacy rests heavily on a new generation, when Brigid, already struggling to keep her family together, makes a grisly discovery in a long-abandoned bootleg mine shaft.

Great story, great Lessons.
Forgiveness is the road between heaven and earth. How true. The story took a while to gather focus, but so worth the ride once it started to come together.

Different from her other books, but stick with it!
I almost gave up on this book. The novel is set in 1968 in a mountain town in the Carolinas. (I'm not sure which.) A family shattered by the infidelity of the pastor father moves to an old house in a sleepy little town. Linda, the 17 year old daughter is angry, cynical and can find nothing to be happy about. Her little brother, 8 year old "Digger" is a happy, sweet child. Mom and dad are holding it together but estranged. She cannot forgive his disgression.
At first I found the narrator grating, but I think she was really doing a good job of portraying a teenaged girl who is in the midst of rebellion. Though she was not my favorite, she really did a good job. I say this is different from Tatlock's other books, all of which I have read and most truly loved, because it involves an element of time travel. Member of the household see people who have lived in the house both in the past and future. All of their stories converge in the end. This is a rather mystical story of awareness, forgiveness and grace. I'm very glad I stuck with it. I will listen to another book by the narrator because I know she did a good job. In retrospect, this may become one of my faves by Tatlock, though I'll Watch the Moon is number one for me.

Christian book with time travel
This book is about a family who moves to warehouse and they’re able to see people in the past and people in the future that live in this house. I liked it so much I recommend it to my sister who likes time travel, and science fiction.

Interesting Story
A unique story with well developed characters that grow and change as the story goes on. The performance sounded a bit old and crackling at times, but the narrator did a good job giving each character their own voice. The ending was unexpected but fitting. It was hard to get into at first, but now that it's over I'm actually sad. I'm definitely going to read more from this author.
