Abby's Fire

After a fire destroys her home, Abby Bennett emerges from the hospital horribly scarred. Her husband has abandoned her, and her two little boys are—gone.

Determined to reclaim her life and get her boys back, Abby returns to her hometown in Iowa. With the help of a reclusive neighbor, Jack, she begins renovating her sister’s rental property. But the old cottage has a tragic past—a grisly unsolved murder.

When Abby sees images of the victims—a mother and her children—in a mirror above the fireplace, she realizes it holds the key to solving the decades-old mystery. As Abby embarks on a quest to unmask the murderer, she learns that evil from the past still has the power to destroy. Will she sacrifice everything she’s worked so hard for to set right an old wrong?
