A woman’s past and present collide in terrifying ways in this explosive debut by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer McMahon.
Forty-one-year-old school nurse Kate Cypher has returned home to rural Vermont to care for her mother, who''s afflicted with Alzheimer''s. On the night she arrives, a young girl is murdered—a horrific crime that eerily mirrors another from Kate''s childhood. Three decades earlier, her dirt-poor friend Del—shunned and derided by classmates as Potato Girl—was brutally slain. Del''s killer was never found, while the victim has since achieved immortality in local legends and ghost stories.
