Tessa Young is a landscape architect who specializes in the design and creation of labyrinths. For years she has immersed herself in the healing aspects of these elaborate structures, searching for God and hoping to make sense of the nightmares that have plagued her nearly all her life. When Smith Chandler, an estranged colleague with whom she'd half fallen in love a dozen times before, calls to propose a project he claims is the opportunity of a lifetime, she reluctantly agrees to check it out. Smith is reconstructing a pre-Revolutionary War abbey for wealthy clients, and among its remarkable features is an overgrown labyrinth. Unable to resist, Tessa accepts his offer. Soon Tessa is immersed in what is truly the project of a lifetime. But one evening, Tessa and Smith are attacked, and while trying to protect her, Smith is stabbed. And the nightmare begins again . . .

Kristen Heitzmann is one of my favorite authors. I do believe I am starting to collect all her books!

Labyrinths
I wasn't loving this book through the first half because the female character was so touchy, and needy, always calling her psychiatrist to help her cope with stress.
I also thought it seemed to be heading in a direction I didn't care for, with supernatural mysteries and monsters, etc. But then it changed and I saw the mystery developing and the monster becoming more human.
In this story, Tessa is struggling to remember a traumatic event from her childhood, related to labyrinths, monsters and her father.
I also learned the difference between a maze and a labyrinth, as Tessa was a landscape architect who specialized in labyrinths. So what's the difference? In a maze, you exit in a different place than you entered, it has dead ends, and represents confusion. In a labyrinth, you enter and exit the same way, walk familiar patterned pathways to the centre, and it represents peace.
Now you know, too.
