The Downing House

The Downing House is a foster home owned and operated by Clay and Liza Downing. This is the heart felt story which revolves around the lives of three teenage girls who end up at The Downing House for reasons beyond their control. Clare Marshall is the first to walk through the big blue doors and is without hope during her stay there. The second is Eve Thornton who becomes the innocent victim of loving the one person she should be staying away from. Zoey Pearson arrives last, finally finding the happiness and love she has only dreamed of. On their eighteenth birthdays, Clare and Eve move out and attempt to put the secrets, that The Downing House holds, behind them. However, each carries around a reminder everyday reminding them of what really happened behind the big blue doors. When Clare and Eve choose to walk through them one last time, one gives a gift of love; the other a gift of guilt. P.S. Kesler has written an outstanding story of loss, love, guilt, and forgiveness.
