Description

Acclaimed author Karen White returns to Charleston, South Carolina, with the second novel in the New York Times bestselling Tradd Street series. Melanie Middleton has grown accustomed to renovating old houses, but she never imagined she'd have to renovate her own life to include her estranged mother. Ginnette Prioleau Middleton left Charleston thirty-five years ago. She's returned wanting to protect the daughter she's never really known after receiving an ominous premonition. Melanie never wanted to see her mother again, but with some prodding from her partner, Jack Trenholm, she agrees-and begins to rebuild their relationship. Together Melanie and Ginnette buy back their old home. With their combined psychic abilities they expect to unearth some ghosts. But what they find is a vengeful dark spirit whose strength has been growing for decades. It will take unearthing long buried secrets to beat this demon and save what's left of Melanie's family...

It has a pace, a beat, a cadence that is all its own."-The Huffington Post "White's dizzying carousel of a plot keeps those pages turning, so much so that the book can [be]-and should be-finished in one afternoon, interrupted only by a glass of sweet iced tea."-Oprah.com "White captures the true essence of Charleston by intertwining the sights and smells of the historic town with an enchanting story filled with ghostly spirits, love, and forgiveness...a once-in-a-lifetime series."-Fresh Fiction "This is storytelling of the highest order: the kind of book that leaves you both deeply satisfied and aching for more."-Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of Tiny Little Thing "Readers will find White's prose an uplifting experience as she is a truly gifted storyteller."-Las Vegas Review-Journal
