The Last Herrick Secret a

Now that Herrick House is all but finished, Becs and her family are returning to the city – and Isaiah is going with them. But as they leave, he alone sees a stranger on the house veranda. Who is he? 

Becs is excited about taking Isaiah home to the city and keen to slot right back in where she left off – shopping, hanging out with her friends and getting back to ‘normal’ – but things don’t go to plan.

As Isaiah struggles with city life, he hides his dread about the man he saw. His parents won’t give him straight answers when he calls and his fears grow. He is not alone with his worries. Becs has a stranger of her own to deal with, and only when she begins to understand her own troubles is she able to help Isaiah with the last Herrick secret.
