A thrilling gothic horror novel about biracial twin sisters
separated at birth, perfect for fans of Lovecraft Country and The
Vanishing Half
As infants, twin sisters Charlie Yates and Magnolia Heathwood were
secretly separated after the brutal lynching of their parents, who died
for loving across the color line. Now, at the dawn of the Civil Rights
Movement, Charlie is a young Black organizer in Harlem, while
white-passing Magnolia is the heiress to a cotton plantation in rural
Georgia.
Magnolia knows nothing of her racial heritage, but secrets are hard to
keep in a town haunted by the ghosts of its slave-holding past. When
Magnolia finally learns the truth, her reflection mysteriously
disappears from mirrors--the sign of a terrible curse. Meanwhile, in
Harlem, Charlie's beloved grandmother falls ill. Her final wish is to be
buried back home in Georgia--and, unbeknownst to Charlie, to see her
long-lost granddaughter, Magnolia Heathwood, one last time. So Charlie
travels into the Deep South, confronting the land of her worst
nightmares--and Jim Crow segregation.
The sisters reunite as teenagers in the deeply haunted town of Eureka,
Georgia, where ghosts linger centuries after their time and dangers lurk
behind every mirror. They couldn't be more different, but they will need
each other to put the hauntings of the past to rest, to break the
mirrors' deadly curse--and to discover the meaning of sisterhood in a
racially divided land.
