Bethlehem by Karen Kelly
3.0

Slow moving story but with the feel and heart of Downton Abbey. Dual timelines in the 20s and the 60s in Bethlehem, PA. I really liked the characters, although it takes a bit to get used to them because them are called by their names and nicknames.
Susannah's secret that she hid for so many years with the help of her Mom was so heartbreaking. I really liked Doe- she seemed a little crazy talking about the ghosts that seemed to haunt the house, but there is truth to that as the story unfolds.
