Charlotte (3z(BCharlie(3y (BCates has disturbing dreams in which unknown children appeal to the divorced Stamford, Conn., journalist for her help; she takes this as evidence of just how thoroughly she has lost it in the months since her son died suddenly. But that doesn’t explain why Charlie seems to be picturing events that haven’t yet happened—or the eerie dream about a tiny, abused boy adrift with her in a boat on a bayou, which she has the night after being asked to write a true-crime book about the notorious never-solved 1982 disappearance of two-year-old Gabriel Deveau from his family’s Louisiana estate, Evangeline. Several weeks later, she travels to Evangeline, where she investigates a case that, though old, may not be all that cold.

Add a CommentEither I didn't read this at all or I've completely forgotten everything about it. Unfortunately, my very long list of books i want to read means that I often request books with no idea where I the book was recommended or why I wanted to read it. Maybe I'll re-request it sometime.
I found this to be an entertaining mix of mystery, romance and a little paranormal activity. I liked Charlie and will most likely read future books in this series.
I find it difficult to find books that capture my interest - much less one that I couldn't put down, but this is one!
Hester Young's main character Charlotte is a grieving mother who receives a "gift" that thrusts her into situations that stab at her still raw wounds. She is compelled to continue on a path which ultimately brings her to a place of peace. If you love the paranormal, love, and rich history then this book is for you.
