Westfield Township resident, Katrina Morgan, has published her first book entitled, Echoes in the Walls. A hilarious and true story of their family's amazing journey to find happiness in a dilapidated, crumbling farmhouse in Medina County. Tired of chasing after what society labels success, they sell a new home in an upscale neighborhood, to follow an old dream of renovating a century plus home in the country. Somehow, they are able to look past the crumbing state of the house. There are no working bathrooms, the doors are hanging off hinges, windows are broken, graffiti artists have sprayed their messages across walls, and Mother Nature has moved inside. Instead, the couple sees the house finished and inviting. They imagine the work will be romantic and fun. It was anything but, as they hit one obstacle after another; raccoons in a bedroom, a colony of bats in the attic, bones in the basement, ominous strangers, injuries, tempers and a harrowing ninety day time frame.
The author hopes to inspire readers to re-evaluate their own dreams and take a chance on change. Because the story takes place in Medina County, local residents will connect on many levels.
