Could the Secrets of the Past Hold the Key to the Future?

A young woman's life is turned upside down when she's given a strange locked journal in Nicole Parris' stunning romantic adventure, The 8th Journal

Glen Allen, Virginia (PRWEB) November 19, 2006 -- The 8th Journal by Nicole Parris is a thrilling romantic adventure about the life-altering secrets a young woman discovers in a mysterious antique journal.

What do we really know about ourselves--or the ones connected to us? Eighteen-year-old Holly Anderson is just looking for an excuse to take a year off from college, but she never expected her time off to be so dramatic--or so potentially deadly. In a stunning revelation, she discovers everything she thought she knew about herself and her family is false. Who is she really? And who are her family?

To deepen the mystery, she's given an antique journal and a 48 day deadline to decide what to do with it. Discombobulated, Holly heads for the home of her eccentric aunt in the West Village. New York City is fun and exciting, but Holly again finds herself thrust into a tightening web of danger and mystery. Will Holly survive? She might uncover the most shocking mystery of all.

Nicole Parris has created a book rich with colorful characters, a can't-put-down plot, and a deeply-felt romance. This is a unique page-turner that will keep readers entranced--and guessing--to the last wonderful page.

"The cast of secondary characters are a colorful delight, the pace never flags, and readers will find the ending of this rollicking adventure cum tender coming of age story more than satisfying…"
- New York Times Best Selling Author, Ellen Tanner Marsh
