A Diary's House captures a world of two generations, forged by the lightening rod of a mysterious diary; a diary, and the world within it, was lost for decades and sitting in the lower regions of a magical island. The Randola River was its protector, shielding it from all who dared to trespass its waters.
A world of mystery, of pirates and treasures, of trees with a language all their own, of a Cherokee legend and the lands of Kituhwa - these were the stories told to Landon Hampshire in his most impressionable youth. He was not to go there; he dare not try.
Through the years he wondered if the stories were true; if such a land as mythical and alluring as this even exists. He dared to discover it and see where it led. His two friends had heard some of these stories as well, and so a journey began that they would not soon forget.
Old man Montague knew some of the tales; he bore a witness to the fear such a mighty river can cause one to be possessed by. Fear, he had learned in his own travels, could strip a man from his once-secure bravado. And so the warning went that the boys would not heed. They would travel the mighty Randola River and discover what their curiosity could not fathom.
A place where dreams and reality co-exist; a harbor; a home; a destiny which could fill their memories and make them men, though they did not know what the correct definition of what a true man was - Landon was soon to learn this lesson all too well. They would quickly discover more than what they ever bargained for. It is a world where life and death co-mingles; a place where illusion can quickly turn into reality.
Little did they know what would await them, the deep treasures which would ultimately be revealed - a lost world, a dream that would never end, and a diary from the heart of a young woman who found herself trapped and alone in a world she could not prevail against.
Landon knew her story; he was living it. The dream becomes a reality; the parched paper of her innermost thoughts turn into the trails of his colliding world with hers. A world he too, found as unforgiving. There was a tie to the hearts; a place where they both could roam and discover this mutual past and present, all intertwined into one symbiotic spin of fate. The present becomes the past; the past becomes the present. The diary becomes more than a diary itself. It becomes a bridge for two worlds; interfaced, and colliding into a climatic turn.
It is true Landon Hampshire will discover the true meaning of manhood. But not as one might suspect. His heart will know what true love is, and the joys and sorrows such an emotion can be unknowingly bound together with. There are more of treasures than from a pirate's take here. This land; this home; this time will yield the greatest treasure of all. A diary has its secrets, and soon it will tell its own story...
