Summoned by the news of her dying father, Isabel Delilah Jones escapes from New York City, broken hearted and disillusioned, back to her small Mississippi town. She is welcomed smack dab into a bizarre inheritance, a complex war for her affection between two former best friends, a dire haunting from an unknown child, and a deadly mystery that only she can solve. Yonder is the perfect Southern treat for fans of tangled romance, spooky mysteries and down home cooking. Taking place in the 1940's on the cusp of World War II, Yonder promises a lovely glimpse of an era that was all too short.

My headline for this review should explain everything! I could not put this book down! LeeAnn you teased me with the intro to book 2! I'm so ready to read it!
I loved this book! All of the characters are unique and well defined. I cared about all of them and their relationships. I truly couldn’t wait to read this each night. I read the book in 4 sittings - I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read the next book, especially after reading the teaser chapters. Yonder is suspenseful, romantic, engaging and full of surprises. A definite must read!
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was hard to put down. Not easy to anticipate the twists and turns well written into the plot. The characters are realistic as are the settings. Very unique novel.
