One house, one hundred years -- Here is a collection of interconnected short stories that bend time with a complex and varied cast of characters passing through a single mansion in Newfoundland, confronting the ghosts of family, perseverance, redemption, and survival. Here is a collection of interconnected short stories that trails the inhabitants of a colonial mansion on Circular Road in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, over a span of 100 years.
