The Punishment Room

At 18, Joey Sheffield left home, putting a history of sexual abuse behind her. Fifteen years later, she's summoned home by her sister, Rosemary, to attend the funeral of the man responsible for the crimes committed against her - her father, MacArthur Sheffield. Not wanting to let her sisters down by not showing up, Joey puts her disdain for her parents and the home she grew up in aside and reluctantly returns to Sheffield Manor. Shortly after her arrival, she starts to notice odd occurrences. Voices coming from inside the walls, the stench of her father's cologne, and the aroma of smoke from his favorite pipe tobacco. Things aren't as they seem at Sheffield Manor. When Joey learns that no funeral arrangements have been made for her father, and that no citizens in the town of Cornish, Alabama are aware of his death, she realizes that she's been lured home under false pretenses - and for nefarious reasons. Someone inside the manor wants Joey dead, and they'll stop at nothing to ensure she doesn't leave there alive. *WARNING: This book contains graphic sexual content and adult language.
