Love Like Ghosts

Blairsville was the kind of town where everybody knew each other. The kind where people left their doors unlocked, where gossip traveled faster than the wind through the mountains, and where nothing ever truly changed.

At least, that's what everyone liked to believe.

A year after her mother's death, Eloise Thompson feels like she's standing still while the rest of the world keeps moving without her. The town she once loved now feels suffocating, filled with memories she can't escape and people who keep expecting her to become herself again.

Then a mysterious family from France moves into town.

At first, they're nothing more than a rumor whispered through school hallways and diner booths. But the longer they stay in Blairsville, the stranger things begin to feel. Familiar looks from strangers. Conversations that stop the second Eloise walks into a room. Questions nobody seems willing to answer.

And for the first time since her mother died, Eloise begins to wonder if there were secrets buried beneath her small mountain town long before she was born.

Because some people arrive for a reason.

And some truths were never meant to stay hidden.
