★ "A complex and haunting tale that makes room for hope and optimism."—Publisher's Weekly, starred review
In this gothic historical tale full of mystery, two girls must uncover the secrets of their haunted home before it's too late.
THE HARROW HOME FOR WAYWARD GIRLS has long stood as a place of secrets. The estate has housed hundreds of young women hidden away during their pregnancies, their homesick cries echoing through the halls, providing a haunting score to Grace Harrow’s childhood.
Now, in the summer of 1947, the Home has been sold to a wealthy hotelier. Grace expects the new owner's daughters to be spoiled. Yet Rose, the eldest daughter—unaware of Mr. Harrow's abusive tendencies—is jealous of Grace's seemingly easy confidence. But as they’re drawn into each other's lives, an unlikely friendship begins to form. Fortunately so, because not all of the wayward girls made it out...
One still lingers. Lurking in the shadows. Looking for vengeance.
To expose the truth buried in the walls of the Harrow Home, Grace and Rose must unravel a legacy of silence and cruelty. But Grace’s father will stop at nothing to keep the past hidden, and if the truth comes to light, it could destroy both their families.

"This dark and twisty historical fiction weaves threads of feminism, magical realism, and coming-of-age into a taut mystery with strong female leads and spine-tingling thrills." —School Library Journal
