A Louisiana woman must face the ghosts of her past in this “haunting and beautiful” novel of love, fate, and family secrets (Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times–bestselling author).
Deep in the Louisiana bayou, the Sorrow Estate was once the opulent home to a magical family—the Sorrows. But it’s been abandoned since a series of murders in 1902 shocked the entire community. Only the ghosts of girls remain, shifting in and out of view, as they live out the past on repeat.
Now Frances Green Sorrow carries a heavy burden. They say it is her destiny to bring her family back from ruin and set the Sorrows ghosts free. But Frances is no savior. After losing herself in the seductions of New Orleans, all she wants is to live an ordinary life.
When her son disappears, Frances is forced to rejoin the world she left behind. Out of desperation to find the boy, she will expose her darkest secret . . . and perhaps even discover the truth of what really happened at Sorrow all those years ago.
