October’s Book Pick: The Last House on the Street by Diane Chamberlain

1965–Growing up in the well-to-do town of Round Hill, North Carolina, Ellie Hockley was raised to be a proper Southern lady, but Ellie isn’t as committed to her family’s expectations. She’s chosen to spend her summer break as a volunteer helping to register black voters. Her scandalized parents scorn her efforts, and her neighbors reveal their prejudices. When she falls for a fellow volunteer, Ellie discovers the frightening truth about the people living in Round Hill.

2010–Architect Kayla Carter and her husband designed a beautiful house for themselves in Round Hill’s new development, Shadow Ridge Estates where they planned to raise a family. Instead, it’s the place where Kayla’s husband died in an accident—a fact known to a mysterious woman who warns Kayla against moving in. The woods and lake behind the property are said to be haunted, and vandals target the house with threatening notes. Kayla’s neighbor Ellie Hockley harbors secrets about the dark history of the land where her house was built. Two women. Two stories. Both on a collision course with the truth.
