DOOR TO PURGATORY

When Hanna, a young college student, visits the oldest historic bed and breakfast in the state, she encounters more than she hoped for. While Hanna’s original intentions were to finish her school research, she finds herself in the midst of inexplicable paranormal forces that she is unable to deal with. Hanna is submerged into an unknown world that leads her into peril. How far will Hanna go before losing her soul?
Some doors are not meant to be opened.Once the purgatory door opens, it can't be closed.
