The narrative of The House on the Bend is more than a story about two men—Davis Allen and Liam King—it’s a mirror held up to the soul of every reader. At its heart, it explores a powerful question: How do we find redemption when life takes unexpected, and sometimes destructive, turns?
Davis Allen’s life changes in a split second—the moment his truck crashes into the fence of the mysterious house on the bend. That night, as his father respectfully removes his hat to speak to the elderly woman standing on her porch, a ripple is sent through the fabric of the small town of Harrison.
What happens when we are faced with a choice between running from our past or confronting it? For Liam King, a man who has tried to live with honor since a devastating accident, this choice becomes very real when he witnesses a young woman being discarded by the side of the road. In that moment, he must decide: will he act, or will he remain silent?
As Davis and Liam grapple with their decisions, long-buried truths and false accusations come to light, offering a chance for healing—but only if they are brave enough to take it.
What makes The House on the Bend stand out isn’t just its compelling characters and vivid storytelling. It’s the deep, emotional resonance of grace that flows through its pages. Reach shows us that no matter how far gone we think we are, there is always a path to redemption. This is a message we all need—whether it’s for our own lives or for those we love.
How often do we let guilt and shame hold us back from the grace that’s freely available? What if the very thing we’re running from is the key to our healing?
As Liam and Davis face their pasts, we are reminded that true strength is not in hiding our mistakes, but in owning them—and that love, both from others and from God, is what sets us free.
Rhonda Wheeler, a social media manager, shares, “This book is more than a story; it’s a reflection of our deepest struggles with guilt and the healing power of grace. “Everyone should read it at least once.”
Dr. Rebecca Estes, an educator, reflects, “It’s amazing how The House on the Bend captures the messiness of humanity. The characters will live on in my heart long after the last page.”
Author and educator Hannah Mwangi adds, “Reach’s ability to bring characters to life is remarkable. It’s a coming-of-age story that leaves you believing in the power of love and reconciliation.”
In a world filled with brokenness, this story asks us to consider: What if every mistake was an opportunity for grace? What if we could turn our darkest moments into a light for others? The House on the Bend reminds us that the past may shape us, but it doesn’t have to define us.
We invite you to journey with Davis and Liam — two men whose lives, though scarred by their choices, are forever changed by the healing power of love and truth.
