About this ebook

Is her neighbor a friend or a foe?

Soccer mom Yvette Palmer lives an ordinary life in San Antonio, Texas when a box is delivered to her by mistake, and in taking it to its rightful owner—a crotchety neighbor named Mona who shares her back fence—is drawn into a strange and haunting tale.

Mona’s ratty robe, mood swings, and secretive behavior all raise red flags, and Yvette is sure someone else is living there despite Mona’s claim to live alone, but Yvette is unable to break away as she listens to how Mona transformed from a young college woman about to be married to the odd, reclusive, ghost of a woman she is now.

As Yvette listens to her neighbor's tale, she discovers a shocking connection, but doesn't know whether Mona's come to help or to harm her and her family.

"A brilliantly compelling read!"--Perkins ★★★★★

Ratings and reviews

Couldn't find a way to change the font size. Writing was so small it looked like rows of lines! Settings did not show any option to enlarge so deleted the book without being able to read it'

Eve Pohler understands the human psyche and executes her disturbing story with skill. Having just finished it, I am still in its thrall. Did I like it? I cant yet say, but well done!

One major plot point was predictable. Other than that, I burned right through this book. It was GOOD! It kept me interrested all day.
