As she roams through the cemetery, she sees a grave that seems to be an outcast in the cemetery, overgrown with weeds and biers, but when Amanda sees what in inscribed on the marker, she wonders just what kind of man was Thomas Matthew. A previous owner, Thomas Saunder has all the answers to the mysteries surrounding the grave and Amanda's new home. There are rumors of ghosts in her house, he tells her. The Little Brown House. A story of regrets, love, and hope, as a tornado rips through, destroying so many homes, trees, and beautiful grounds, but the little brown house is safe and so are the ones who occupy its dwelling.
