Smoke Dreams — Donald Willerton

Why would you remodel a haunted house? The house breathes, has a heartbeat, and gets physical when it gets mad. But Tucker Whitby is an experienced builder who is also haunted. He feels responsible for his wife's death and his daughter's murder. Because of this, he is emotionally stunted and denies himself love. Can rebuilding this unusual house jolt his life back on track? Tucker gets far more than he hoped -- the house decides that if Tucker is rebuilding it, then it will rebuild him. Through a series of dreams involving a ten year-old boy kidnapped by Comanche Indians in 1870, Tucker witnesses the savage life of a boy who becomes a warrior. But soon he's not dreaming -- he is becoming the boy. Before long, the pain and horror of the boy's life takes Tucker's real life towards violence, murder, and an encounter with the house's deepest secrets.
