A man and a woman share a journey of life mainly through the eyes of the woman's own private thoughts about him and his life, and the events of her own life; the death of a young friend signals the beginning of a poetic autobiographical journey that is a descent into the darkest heart of life itself; these two separate yet conjoined stories help us see into that darkness surrounding us all, and from the questions asked of us, we somehow find salvation in the light that is the true meaning of why we are here.

Set behind the heavy wrought-iron fence surrounding it, Hillfield Manor has sat empty for decades. Rumors of ghostly sightings and sudden disappearances plague the manor, and those who have dared step foot inside have sworn never to do so again. But Hillfield is opening its doors once more, and when Emma Beckett is invited to copy type the family journals, she’s eager to live and work at the haunted manor, a place she has longed to explore, especially after her sister’s recent death. Emma isn’t prepared for Alexander Eason, though, or the way he makes her feel—even if he’s been dead for three hundred years. Upon reading a journal entry stating a secret room exists where she and Alexander can appear to one another as more than mere shadows, Emma has to find it. But will the room—and Alexander—be all that they claim, or will Emma find that some things are better left buried in the past? Although loosely related to The House on the Lake, Within These Walls is a completely stand-alone novel.
