A new home. A fresh start. A past that refuses to stay buried.
Jules never expected to find love again after losing her husband, but artist Kirin swept her off her feet. Now, she and her teenage daughter, Scout, are leaving the city behind to start a new life in his beautifully restored mansion. But not everyone is ready to move on.
Determined to keep her father’s memory alive, Scout resents the change—until she discovers an old handmade doll in one of the empty rooms. Kirin says it belonged to his late sister, a fragile connection that Scout clings to.
But as she digs deeper into Kirin’s past, the house begins to whisper secrets. Something is watching. Something is waiting. And Scout fears it wants her mother.
A chilling, atmospheric short story from bestselling author Lisa Unger.
