The Last House on the Street - Book Review

The Last House on the Street by Diane Chamberlain

Kayla Carter’s husband is dead. She and her small daughter are now moving into the dream home that she and her late husband designed and built on the old Hockley Street. Things are painful enough, but when Kayla starts getting warnings about her new home from a disturbing stranger, Kayla must make some tough decisions, and that includes who she can trust. Things seem to get more interesting and complicated when she meets Ellie Hockley and her family, who live in the last original house on the street boarding the new development. When secrets surface, will Kayla and Ellie be able to survive the turmoil that ensues?

This novel by Diane Chamberlain was incredible. It is told in dual time periods which follow both Kayla and Ellie’s journeys.  I loved reading about Ellie and her quest to register voters in a time period when there was such injustice and racial wars raging, as it was so enlightening, and was a real event in history. To me, that was the heart of the novel and kept me glued to the story. Ms. Chamberlain tied the story together beautifully and this is a book I will not soon forget. Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for my advanced readers copy to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you so much for stopping by the farmhouse. Lynn
