By Byrd Nash

Book Overview

"In the exhilarating mystery novel, a daughter pieces together her family history, exploring loss and the redemptive power of love." - Clarion

Did I want to go back to my New England hometown? No. But there are twenty years of questions that need to be answered when my mother's body is finally found.

What do my grandfather, aunt, and uncle know? I'll discover that when I touch them, because I have one of my family's enigmatic powers: I can look into memories, and relive what you remember.

In her quest to discover her mother's killer, Zoe will discover the most powerful memory she has is her own. And it's all a lie.

My Grandfather runs this town, but his power is crumbling. What my ancestors did that gained them these odd powers over a hundred years ago is the very reason we will all be destroyed today if I cannot discover the truth.

There is a reckoning long overdue, and blood must pay to redress it. Perhaps my own.

The biggest secret she'll discover is the one she cannot remember.
