Publisher's Synopsis
When recently widowed sisters Maggie Abbott and Gwen Potter
embark on a fresh chapter of their lives, they didn't expect it to involve
ghosts. After building their dream cottage on the shores of Lake
Michigan, they open The Storyteller Book Shop, which soon becomes
a haven for the residents of their small town. But just as Maggie begins
to settle into her new life, she makes a chilling discovery-their
beloved bookstore is haunted by the restless spirit of a young woman...
and the man who murdered her.
With the help of her sister, a tight-knit circle of book-loving women,
and a newfound ability to communicate with the dead, Maggie is
drawn into a mystery that has somehow remained hidden for over a
century in a town where everybody knows everything about everyone
else. As the ghosts grow more desperate and the past refuses to stay
buried, Maggie must decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the
truth-before history repeats itself.
This debut novel is a heartwarming, suspenseful tale of reinvention,
friendship, and the power of stories-both the ones we tell and the
ones that refuse to stay silent.
