First published 2003
Reeling from a family tragedy, Alison returns to her childhood home - a decaying manor once bustling with life. As she sifts through the remnants of the past, a dark history emerges, one steeped in loss, betrayal, and a haunting presence that refuses to be silenced. Alison must confront the ghosts that have long plagued her family, both literal and figurative, in order to untangle the web of lies and find a way to heal. In this chilling tale of the macabre, the boundaries between the living and the dead become perilously blurred.
