Lily was an accident. That’s what Mom and Dad said, when they broke the news to me and the brothers over second-time-around meatloaf and corn on the cob. An accident, as if they were apologizing for puncturing holes in the inflatable pool with the lawnmower...

Fourteen-year-old Emily Adams is flunking math - and life. But Emily has a secret, one that she has kept even from her best friends. Soon the ancient legacy coursing through her veins will force her secret to be revealed. Dormant for over a thousand years, an evil has arisen and this time, it will destroy anyone - or anything - that stands in its way. Three teens embark on a dangerous journey and risk everything. For Emily, the fate of her friends - and her world - lies in her hands. Travel with Emily as she unlocks the secrets of her Celtic ancestors as she goes on a mystical journey to the inner house and beyond. Join the Journey . . . WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "Natalie Wright has divined in Emily's House a simultaneous modern and ancient fairy tale of the greatest kind: sans parents, sans immediate consequence, sans cowardice. Bravery is said to be not the lack of fear, but action in the face of it. Like the best of Grimm, Perrault and Charles Schulz, Ms. Wright's kids find themselves amidst adventure, terror and turmoil, as well as ineffective and/or absent parental units. By their own bootstraps they must find help themselves to find their way home, to save not only each other, but perchance an entire civilization. "Adults drool, kids rule" is the motto for any well-written young adult or children's tale. Natalie's kids indeed rule. This one will last, alongside Grimm, Perrault and Schulz, in the coffers of timeless, fantasy literature. Plus, there's Hindergog and no one could not love Hindergog! Well done, Ms. Wright. Well done, indeed." - Jennifer S. Devore, author of "The Darlings of Orange County"

Akila, an orphan, has endured the pain, the loss, the abuse, the use ... Every foster home has treated her like she is worth nothing, and after awhile her social service agent sends her somewhere else. Ruth Johnson, her new guardian.

After meeting a mysterious guy in a place Akila would never suspect, her hiding place in the magical looking forest. Things start turning good in her life, but if only she knew it was temporary. Things are after her, something she knows nothing of. She sees shadows in her room, when the lights are on, she hears sounds when she's home alone, she feels a strange presence around her. Akila does not know what's going on, but Ruth does and so does her mystery guy, kind of. Now she has to cling to God harder than before before her mother's last words repeat themselves in her, only if she falls into the dark side. As her mother said, so clearly for the last time, "Call Me Lost, Child."
