As her abilities grow, she must decide who to trust with her secret.
East Texas, 1898. Winter is giving way to spring, and for the first time since her husband’s death, Elizabeth Whalen can almost imagine a future shaped by hope instead of grief.
As she begins testing the mysterious gift she once feared—a gift that allows her to sense the emotions of the living and witness the memories of the dead—Elizabeth discovers her powers are growing stronger...and more unpredictable by the day.
When the apparition of a recently deceased stranger does the impossible and interacts with her, Elizabeth is left with dangerous information she cannot ignore. To help the dead and protect the living, she must trust Constable Tom Oakhurst with her secret or risk becoming his prime suspect once again.
Trust between Elizabeth and Tom is fragile at best, and with Nettie and Nate’s wedding fast approaching and an unknown threat closing in, Elizabeth must decide whether risking her secret—and her heart—is worth protecting the ones she loves.
Set in the Pineywoods of East Texas, this stirring historical tale blends love, healing, found family, and a touch of magical realism in a story about grief, courage, and learning to trust again.
