What the House Answered

By Deidre Whipple Lopez

Four lifelong friends. One inherited Victorian house. Four wishes they never expected to come true.

When Alexandria "Alex" Barnes invites her three closest friends to spend a weekend helping her clean out the old Galveston house she inherited from her grandparents, none of them expect anything more than dust, memories, wine, and a little nostalgia.

Then they discover old family papers, a mysterious history tied to the house, and instructions suggesting that under the right circumstances, the house can answer a sincere wish.

They laugh about it. They drink a little too much. And each woman asks for the one thing she wants most.

Megan wants enough money that she and her husband will never have to worry again. Jackie, exhausted by years of rheumatoid arthritis, wishes to be twenty-five again. Dani, furious over her husband's betrayal, wishes for a very personal form of revenge. And Alex asks for the impossible-the chance to see, hear, touch, and speak to the husband and daughter she lost eleven years earlier.

They leave Galveston believing nothing happened.

They are wrong.

One by one, the wishes begin to come true-exactly as they were spoken, but not necessarily as they were intended. What first feels like a miracle soon reveals consequences none of them imagined, forcing the women to return to the house and uncover the truth hidden within its walls.

But getting what you want and living with what you asked for are two very different things.

What the House Answered is an emotional supernatural psychological thriller about friendship, grief, regret, second chances, and the dangerous difference between the words we say and what we truly mean.
