And a fragile comfort for her lonely daughter.

Emmie just wants to get as far away from her psychic past as possible. Who can blame her? Seeing dead children isn’t a “gift." It's heartbreaking terror. But once she loses her job in the big city, there’s only one place for her to go: back into the heart of her trauma and fears. Her childhood home. Hanging House.
