Synopsis:
When Andrew returns to his hometown to attend his mother's funeral, he is drawn once more into the legacy of beautiful Eden Close next door. Now, 17 years after a tragedy left Eden blind and her father dead, Andrew uncovers the truth about Eden's past and his own attachment to her. A compelling, modern gothic tale of edgy small-town emotions, lingering obsession, and romantic salvation told in clear, taut prose.
