A novel of psychological suspense and “a beautiful story that carefully unravels the depth of love and lies in a family.”—Heidi Perks, author of Her One Mistake
When Jen goes to her grandmother’s house for the last time, she's determined not to dwell on the past. As a child, Jen adored Lily. She suspected she might be a witch—but the spell was broken long ago, and now her death means there won't be any reconciliation.
Lily’s gone, but the enchantments she wove and the secrets she kept still remain. In Lily’s house, Jen and her daughter reluctantly confront the secrets of the past and present—and discover how dangerous we become when we're trying to protect the ones we love.
