In the deep woods of East Texas, Henry supports his family by selling bootleg liquor. It’s all he can do to keep his compassionate but ailing mother and his stepfather—a fanatical grassroots minister with a bruising rhetoric—from ruin. But they have no idea they’ve become the obsession of the girl in the woods.

Abandoned and nearly feral, Eve has been watching them, seduced by the notion of family—something she’s known only in the most brutal sense. Soon she can’t resist the temptation to get close. Where Henry’s mother sees a poor girl in need, his father sees only wickedness. When Henry forges an unexpected bond with Eve, he believes he might be able to save her. He doesn’t know how wrong he is.

Eve is about to take charge of her own destiny—and that of Henry’s family. As both their worlds spin violently out of control, Henry must make an impossible choice: protect the broken young woman who’s claimed a piece of his soul, or put everyone he loves at risk in order to do the right thing.

"An emotional powerhouse of a story that will leave readers reeling from the beginning to the end.” â€”Christena Stephens, Forgotten Winds

"Beautiful and intoxicating.” â€”Chelsea Humphrey, The Suspense is Thrilling Me

“This is dark psychological suspense that skillfully inspires a slow-dawning dread. . .It will shred you.” -- Michelle Newby, Lone Star Literary Life

Eliza Maxwell’s Top Ten Books – and a Few Pet Peeves

When someone asks for a personal top ten list for books, I always panic a little.  "That's too vague!" I cry, already imagining the amazing books that I won't be able to fit onto the list.  "Ten books written for kids? Ten beautifully written books that moved me to tears? Ten books by women? Ten books by men? Ten mysteries that shocked me? Ten circus books? Ten books that taught me something about life, love, diversity, culture, death, parenthood, millennials?  It's too much!  I need parameters!"

My husband, ever the voice of reason, says, "Calm down. Just list the books you've read more than once."

Whew. Sigh of relief.  I can do that.  So without political agenda and without worrying about whether there is enough representation for the various amazing authors, stories, and voices out there, I've gone through my shelves and tipped out the first ten books (or series of books) that I have verifiably read more than once, most more than twice.

10   Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

“I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.” 
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

9        Ender's Game/ Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card

“Sometimes David kills Goliath, and people never forget. But there were a lot of little guys Goliath had already mashed into the ground. Nobody sang songs about those fights…”

8        It by Stephen King

“Home is the place where when you go there, you have to finally face the thing in the dark.” 
― Stephen King, It

7        The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

“Now ... if you trust in yourself ... and believe in your dreams ... and follow your star ... you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy. Goodbye.” 
― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

6        Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

“Men are simpler than you imagine my sweet child. But what goes on in the twisted, tortuous minds of women would baffle anyone.” 
― Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

5        Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore

“You think you know how this story is going to end, but you don't.” 
― Christopher Moore, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

4        The Red Tent by Anita Diamant

“I wanted to cry, but I realized that I was too old for that. I would be a woman soon and I would have to learn how to live with a divided heart.”
― Anita Diamant, The Red Tent

3        Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
