Gorey House was born from the fractured history of the colonial Caribbean, where power, pain, and money mingled for generations before the great house fell silent. Now, New York architect Greg Chandra has been hired to give it a different future by transforming the abandoned plantation into a boutique hotel.

The project soon becomes personal. As Greg sketches a new life for Gorey House, his own life in New York begins to fall away, and his uncertain connection to St. George deepens. But local resistance, political secrets, and a devastating loss force him to reconsider what can truly be rebuilt.

The Cannonball House is a thoughtful novel about history, belonging, and the search for home in a place where the past still shapes every possible future.
