Book Description
After a heartbreaking divorce, Kerris Wells moves to a small northern Canadian town to renovate an old house she has inherited. She’s never felt so alone as she takes her first uncertain steps into her new reality. She isn’t just rebuilding a house. She's rebuilding her life, which will demand courage and hope—things she thought she had lost long ago. Little by little, Kerris discovers she is being guided into the path followed by her beloved grandmother who was Kerris's oasis during her difficult childhood. That path helps her understand her past and the decisions that tore her family apart. But is it enough to help her move beyond the pain others have caused her? The opportunity is all around Kerris to redefine family and find peace—if she can only let go of anger and sorrow to make room for new friendships, a caring family, and a new love.

Pages : 369
Book Description
In this highly atmospheric thriller from the Bram Stoker Award–nominated author of The Violence, a young woman hopes to reinvent herself at an isolated artists’ colony . . . only to be drawn into its dark, twisted past. “Filled to the brim with righteous fury and fright that cannot be quelled, this novel solidifies Dawson as an unstoppable force.”—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters Sarah Carpenter is starting over. She’s on the run—leaving behind her unsupportive, narcissistic ex-boyfriend and alcoholic, abusive mother—and headed for a new beginning at Tranquil Falls, a secluded artists’ colony on the grounds of a closed hotel. There, with no cell signal or internet to distract her, she hopes to rediscover her love for pottery and put the broken pieces of her life back together. But when Sarah uncovers the body of a young woman while digging a hole for a pit kiln, things start to fall apart. Her fellow artists begin to act in troubling ways. The eccentric fiber artist knits an endless scarf. The musician plays the same carousel song over and over until his fingers bleed. The calligrapher grins with ink-stained teeth. Not to mention the haunting dreams Sarah has night after night. When she discovers glass shards in her clay, Sarah wonders if someone is out to get her—or if she’s losing her grip on reality out here in the wilds, where the pounding of the waterfall never, ever fades. As she investigates the beautiful valley and the crumbling resort looming over them all, she unearths a chilling past that refuses to remain buried . . .
