The Unmaking of June Farrow

by Adrienne Young

First published 2023

June Farrow tends her family's flower farm in Jasper, North Carolina, while waiting for the madness that destroyed her mother Susanna to claim her too. The Farrow women carry a curse that the whole town whispers about. For a year now, June has heard wind chimes in empty air and voices calling her name. She sees a door that appears from nowhere, just like the signs that preceded her mother's disappearance decades ago. When her grandmother dies, June finds cryptic clues about Susanna's vanishing, but they raise more questions than answers. The mysterious door keeps appearing, and June realizes she can actually touch it. She steps through the threshold and discovers she can travel between past and future. Her journey reveals the secrets behind her family's curse and her small town's hidden mysteries. Along the way, she becomes entangled in a love that spans time itself. June must choose between breaking the curse forever and sacrificing her chance at the family she's always wanted.
