Charlotte (Charlie) Cates is grieving after the death of her 4 year old son. So when she starts having dreams about children who are dead or in danger she at first dismisses them as part of the grieving process. But, after agreeing to go to Louisiana to do a book about a wealthy family and a 30 year old mystery of a missing child, she has reason to believe her visions are actually a gift – a way to help children and their families. A dying matriarch who has always been quiet about the kidnapping of her son, three siblings who may or may not have the best interest of their mother at heart, a handsome outsider who is hiding something and new clues about things that happened 30 years ago all build to an exciting and satisfying conclusion. This great debut novel has all of the elements of a modern southern gothic, and is not to be missed.
