Patricia A. Henisse is marketing her novel, CHANGING LIVES. This

intertwine in an isolated house in the red-stone canyons surrounding Lyons,
Colorado. The story is told in three parts. Part One: takes place in October

frighteningly familiar about the root cellar. Amy uncovers suspicious details
that portend evil events in the history of the house and her own terrifying
memories of childhood abuse. Part Two: tells the story of the house from
1907 to 1966 and introduces the Hausladen family and their secrets. Part
Three: returns to October 2002 when the stories from parts One and Two
collide in the frightening root cellar.
