Description

After a “bad thing” reshapes their lives, twelve-year-old Diana and her brother live by strict rules meant to keep danger at bay. When Diana befriends the caretaker’s daughter, she finds herself drawn into the mysteries of the old Willis place—and into the lingering presence of a woman whose past refuses to stay buried. As the girls’ curiosity collides with fear and family secrets, the house’s history begins to surface in unsettling, escalating ways. Blending suspense with haunting atmosphere, this novel explores grief, guilt, and the courage it takes to confront what everyone has tried to silence.
