- Baker & Taylor
After finding out that her mother had not died when she was a child but only recently, Hallie James travels to a island in the middle of the Great Lakes to claim the Victorian mansion bequeathed to her, where she must contend with hostile locals. - Baker & Taylor
After finding out that her mom had not died when she was a child but rather only recently, Hallie James travels to a mysterious island in the middle of the Great Lakes to claim the Victorian mansion bequeathed to her, where she must contend with hostile locals as she searches for the secrets surrounding her enigmatic mother. A first novel. Original. - McMillan Palgrave
A young woman travels alone to a remote island to uncover a past she never knew was hers in this thrilling modern ghost story
When a mysterious letter lands in Hallie James's mailbox, her life is upended. Hallie was raised by her loving father, having been told her mother died in a fire decades earlier. But it turns out that her mother, Madlyn, was alive until very recently. Why would Hallie's father have taken her away from Madlyn? What really happened to her family thirty years ago?
In search of answers, Hallie travels to the place where her mother lived, a remote island in the middle of the Great Lakes. The stiff islanders fix her first with icy stares and then unabashed amazement as they recognize why she looks so familiar, and Hallie quickly realizes her family's dark secrets are enmeshed in the history of this strange place. But not everyone greets her with such a chilly receptionâa coffee-shop owner and the family's lawyer both warm to Hallie, and the possibility of romance blooms. And then there's the grand Victorian house bequeathed to herâmaybe it's the eerie atmosphere or maybe it's the prim, elderly maid who used to work for her mother, but Hallie just can't shake the feeling that strange things are starting to happen . . .
In The Tale of Halcyon Crane, Wendy Webb has created a haunting story full of delicious thrills, vibrant characters, and family secrets.
