More DescriptionKatie Mullens is known as the weird kid. Dead dad. Dead mom. Loner. Maybe crazy. Always drawing in her sketch pad, and she talks to herself--or at least that's what it looks like. But Katie is talking to real people...they're just dead. Law Walker is drawn to Katie when he sees the sketch she's made of a historic home--the way it looked before it burned. Law soon discovers that Katie's sight goes beyond death, and what she sees reveals the strange, twisted history of a famous Boston family's connection to the illegal post-emancipation slave trade.
Past, present. Living, dead. Black, white. This is a powerhouse debut about ugly histories, unlikely romances, and seeing people--alive and otherwise--for who they really are.
