But as misfortune began to overtake the grandparents and parents of Kyle Grayson, with untimely deaths, he felt alone and unwilling to venture out of his house, sequestering himself in his own isolation.

    Readers will gain the thoughtfulness and kindness L.M. Haynes has written into the text of this book. The Vanishing Doorknob will be remembered long into the readers’ lives, and never will their faith in God be vanishing from their hearts.
