What would you do to gain a second chance? Your school reorganized, moved across the valley, and then interstate highway construction by-passed the valley? In Restoring Blair House, old timers believed they're entitled to water and mineral rights belonging to newcomers who restored Blair House with help from some of your family. Some sought God's direction, others went their own way, and a prominent family gathered relatives together to gain what belongs to others. All bruised, all flawed, all with secrets, and all want a second chance. Second installment of Rock Creek Valley Trilogy, Restoring Blair House, stands alone as a sequel to Freedom's Tree, a romantic mystery, Kirkus Reviews labeled a thriller. Like Harper Lee in To Kill a Mockingbird, Lippincott used his first sentence strategically in his new novel, "You know, women have the power to bring out the best in a man...or the worst." Kirkus Reviews: Freedom's Tree "...religious subject matter doesn't overwhelm the story since characters are struggling, imperfect humans relatable to any reader." "Kenneth Lippincott has done it again! Prepare to be fully engrossed in this page-turner. ...Unlike other stories, the impact of this adventure goes far beyond the cover and the pages therein...So discover for yourself the terrace of truth, justice, grace and mercy as you venture into Restoring Blair House." -John Bornschein, Pastor of Calvary Fellowship Fountain Valley and former Vice Chairman for the National Day of Prayer Task Force.
