CODY WAYNE MORRIS: THE SAME HOUSE

Join us as we welcome CODY WAYNE MORRIS in conversation with BRITTANY NAVARRO on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 at 6:00 PM to celebrate the release of his new novel THE SAME HOUSE.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Eight Houses. Eight Years. One Brewing Storm.

Following a traumatic break-in, Andrew Walters will do anything to keep his son, Thomas, safe -- even if that means moving to a new house every single year. Eight years after that dreadful night, the two of them are moving into the house on Buena Vista Boulevard. The house is beautiful, their neighbors are kind, and all signs seem to point to a great year ahead. Only, when they arrive, they discover that the biggest storm of the year is set to arrive by the end of their first week. As Thomas and Andrew prepare for the worst, strange things begin to occur in the home -- chairs moving on their own, homework disappearing, and a teddy bear that wants to be Thomas's new mother. Will Thomas and Andrew make it through the week, or will the storm they've spent the last eight years running from, finally catch up to them?
