12 years ago Janet Martlee’s infant son died under mysterious circumstances. Consumed with grief and anger, she ran away to start again...
Yesterday, a12-year old boy with dead eyes appeared in her classroom, begging for help. But Janet doesn’t believe in ghosts...Today, her psychiatrist tells her she must return home to confront her past and uncover the mystery of what happened...Only some questions don’t want to be answered. And some answers hide in the shadows...
Life seems to be going pretty well for Janet, although she is struggling with her feelings about her pregnancy due to the traumatic loss of her first baby. She's in a stable relationship, has a good job, and a best friend who would do anything for her.
Everything in her life would be perfectly rosy if not for the parts of her past she can not remember and the sudden appearance of what looks like the corpse of a 12 year old boy that is watching and stalking her.
Her therapist tells her she must return home, to her parents from whom she has been estranged for years, in order to seek out the truth about what happened to her baby. The therapist believes that confronting her past will rid her of these visions of a dead child.
This was a fast-paced, chilling read in which some secrets are horrifying but uncovering them can be deadly. The suspense kept my blood pounding but the shocking climax nearly stopped my heart! There is an old expression "You can't go home again" but maybe what is really meant by that is don't go back if you were lucky enough to escape the first time.
5 out of 5 stars
