The Fairhope Deal

Wind whistling, leaves changing, pumpkin spice candles being lit. A new season, a new story to come for the small town of Fairhope, Connecticut. It was an early morning as always for Tessa Brooks. The Brooks family was polished, polite, popular, and poised. Tessa was the youngest of the Brooks, she had brown hair, brown eyes, popular, smart, and sporty, she had everything. She had the Victorian house on Walter's St., the perfect family, perfect friends, and the most adventurous personality. Her house had this way about it that no one knew how to describe, it was welcoming and warm, it always smelled good, always clean, but there were secrets in those walls that were indescribable.
