Dianne Hollander-
Nancy Jackson, Reviewer

Believe it or not, there are small towns out there, where you can get away with just about anything. Unfortunately for a family just starting out, that was the way of things. Dianne Hollander isn't just about the inner workings of a psychopathic woman, it is also about the way people of Vollmer's Hollow turned their heads, and blamed everything on an old superstition.
Dianne Hollander grew up differently than other girls. It wasn't just her mannerisms, but her physical stature and dark thoughts. Even her parents weren't sure what it was about her; she was cold and kept to herself. As an adult, she makes a plan, and starts with a transformation to snare a husband, someone with the means to support her. After she becomes a doctor's wife, the plans move forward. Along the way she begrudgingly bears two daughters, beings she has little interest or care for. Love is not an expression often used in their household.
A venture into the building of a new chronic care facility, for ailing people to stay, becomes Dianne's number one priority; after all, she always wanted to be the doctor in the house. Fixing up the old "town hall" she runs the business, with little concern over the rumors of a curse. Not long after, strange incidences occur.
Intermixed in the taut storyline, is a wrestler, beset with muscular dystrophy. He arrives at Hollander House to rest and recuperate from his hard physical years. Unfortunately, nothing prepares him for the events that take place. The patients seem to die, not too long after they arrive, all from the same ailments. Why doesn't anyone investigate? Dianne walks up and down the stairs with a basket of food, but no one knows who resides up there. Unexplained deaths surround the makeshift hospital, but it's all dismissed as ghosts. Is it possible to live there and make it out alive?
This is a well-rounded story with plenty of character development, dialogue, and suspense. James W. Foster takes us through a woman's emotional and mental ordeal, and the way she handles the stress and people that enter her life. The inner thoughts are very real, and lend a sense of eeriness to the human nature factor. Dianne Hollander, is worth the read.
