Tommy's Path

On a snowy winter night Bartholomew Judd happens upon a mysterious saltbox homestead on a narrow lane called Tommy's Path in a small Connecticut village. That spring he and his wife Rebecca are living in the old home, leaving behind a life in Manhattan where he was a professor at Fordham and she a high-school teacher. Burdened by family scandal and psychological upheaval in their lives—ravaged by a past that nearly destroyed their marriage—both seek renewal in the small New England town. But Bart discovers the ancient home has its own secrets—secrets that make the past he has tried to escape all the more real and horrible. There's a quirky neighbor whose weekly yard sales yield bits and pieces of Bart's fantasy world. And he is convinced the old woman up the road is the reincarnation of a witch hanged in colonial Connecticut. Suddenly this lovely saltbox in a bucolic neighborhood becomes a place where Bart has to confront the demons that haunt his every waking moment—and his nightmares.
