In the past and still today, young women are seduced into making promises that carry disastrous consequences. This story is for those victims.
On her deathbed, Bridget begs her granddaughter for a promise The young attorney travels to New Hampshire, unsure what she is supposed to find or how she can help. Meredith encounters the ghost of a young mother searching for her child and becomes entangled with ancient family secrets. The novel is filled with twists, demands, and promises which alter the sisters' futures as they fall into a web of sexuality and deceit.
This novel reflects on the personal experiences that informed the story, the challenges of portraying grooming and consent with honesty and care, and the haunting role of setting, folklore, and generational memory. What emerges is a deeply intimate conversation about resilience, advocacy, and the courage it takes to tell difficult truths - especially when those truths have long been buried.
