Description
Abby Lamb has found a sense of peace with her husband, Ralph, but their happiness is short-lived when they move in with Ralph's mother, Laura. Laura's depression has made it impossible for her to live on her own, and she is venomous and cruel, especially to Abby. When Laura takes her own life, her ghost starts to haunt Abby and Ralph in very different ways. Ralph is plunged into depression, while Abby is being terrorized by a force intent on taking everything she loves away from her. As the situation spirals out of control, Abby must make a choice to prove her love for Ralph and break Laura's hold on the family. With everything on the line, Abby's actions will have a profound impact on her relationship with Ralph and the future of their family. This is a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of motherhood, grief, and the power of love.
