Hadley Dixon was ten years old when her life changed forever. Since those few tragic weeks, she's tried to keep the past buried, but old bones have a way of rising up. Grown now, Hadley can't hide any longer.
Haunted by a boy who never made it home, a woman who sings in moonlight and dances in flames, and the strange, scarred recluse who watches it all from the shadow of the pines, the time has come for Hadley to pay for her sins.
They say the truth will set you free, but sometimes it extracts a terrible price along the way. Is it a price Hadley's willing to pay?
A dark and moving mystery, with a distinctly southern gothic flavor, The Grave Tender is the story of a family where no one is who they seem to be. It's about the women at the heart of that family, and the extraordinary lengths they're willing to go to protect the ones they love. |
