Description
What happens when memories of the past aren't true? With a touch, Zoe Underhill can share another person's memory and become a new person. It's an ancestral ability she's used to stay far away from her powerful grandfather and her New England hometown of Kingstowe. But when the body of her mother is discovered twenty years after her disappearance, her brother makes her return home to use her memory talent to piece together their mother's last day. It seems every family member has a motive, and every memory they have of her mother differs. A spellbinding new novel about the loss of a mother, and hidden truths that refuse to stay buried. Legend states that when Abraham Underhill stopped the mighty Gale of 1898 from destroying Kingstowe, the Underhills were blessed with strange powers which allowed them to control the town and its residents. But when the brightest of their generation died the Underhill talents began to fade. As the Gale's anniversary approaches, the foundation of the family legend is cracking under the weight of the truth. A storm is coming and when the Elemental force returns, it could spell the end for the Underhills. In Zoe's quest to reveal her mother's killer, she will discover the most powerful memory she has is her own. A haunting, lyrical modern fairytale that explores the sweet and bitter aspects of memory, and how we use it to comfort and betray ourselves.
