[COMPLETE] Twenty-six year old photojournalist Sara Brusseau knows that if she stays with her abusive partner, Shane, she will die. She plots a daring escape to a tiny town in Nova Scotia, where the solace she initially finds quickly turns to terror. 

Something stirs in the historic house she's rented. And it wants to be heard.

The house in Locke's Harbour is at once a sanctuary and a source of unease. It holds the dark secrets of Elva Baxter Burns, whose spirit is sealed forever in the home, each room preserving the echoes of her anguish. Drawn to Elva through her own terrors and secrets, Sara must choose: stay and dig deeper into the ghost's tragic tale or keep running.All Rights Reserved

Bronwyn Larson has spent her whole life not depending on her mother, a constantly recovering addict, until the moment her life was literally torn apart when an EF4 tornado ripped through their trailer park and her mom is found dead, miles away after the storm. Suddenly, her estranged father is a part of her life, a prominent state senator who's been absent since Bronwyn was born, a product of her parents' secretive affair. After living alone with her mother in a trailer for seventeen years, Bronwyn now has a stepmother and four new siblings, including an older brother and sister who seem skeptical, if not actually disproving, of Bronwyn living with them. While staying with them in their vacation lake house an hour away from what she called home, Bronwyn is hit with the bombshell that her mother's death is being treated as suspicious, with injuries inconsistent of being killed during the tornado. Estranged from everyone she knows, except her estranged new family, Bronwyn doesn't know who trust or who to believe about her mother's death. Torn between her life as the daughter of a single drug addict and the middle child of a well-respected senator, all while learning more about the mother she thought she knew, Bronwyn is forced to navigate through this new unfamiliar life alone, with this gut feeling she has.
