Joyce Allen reads from her novel Hannah’s House 

Her divorce final, Iris Layton wants to break with the past. But another past comes into her life when she finds remnants of an old farmhouse on her new subdivision lot and hears local legends about Hannah Davis, the witch-ghost said to haunt the place. Iris doesn't buy the stories, but she does find Hannah haunting her as she learns more about her unseen neighbor. And it is Hannah from whom Iris draws support when she faces a real-life threat that has nothing to do with ghosts.

"If you've ever laid your hands on the stones of an old foundation and felt the history in their mossy chill, then Hannah's House is a book for you. Alternating between past and present, Joyce Allen shows us how much we share with our ghosts, and how our ghosts seek us out even in our spanking new houses. A fine read that will keep you turning the pages from first to last."  Nancy Peacock - author of A Broom of One's Own
