Mila is used to being alone.
Maybe thatโs why she said yes. Yes to a second chance in this remote place, among the flowers and the fog and the crash of waves far below.
But she hadnโt known about the ghosts.
Newly graduated from high school, Mila has aged out of the foster care system. So when sheโs offered a teaching job and a place to live on an isolated part of the Northern California coast, she immediately accepts. Maybe she will finally find a new homeโa real home. The farm is a refuge, but itโs also haunted by the past. And Milaโs own memories are starting to rise to the surface.
