WHAT THE WATER HOLDS (The Forgotten Places Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if the town remembered you before you were born?

Thirteen-year-old Cassie Hayes has been running from silence since her mother died — the silence in the car, the silence at the dinner table, the silence in her father's eyes when he goes somewhere in his head and doesn't come back. So when he packs their bags after a mysterious phone call and drives them to a town she's never heard of, she tells herself it's just another kind of quiet to get through.

Then Greyhaven swallows the road behind them.

The town is beautiful, foggy, and wrong — full of people trapped in the same afternoon, a church bell that counts to thirteen when it shouldn't, and a house that seems to have been waiting for her specifically. When Cassie finds a decades-old missing persons flyer with her own face on it, dated years before she was born, she stops trying to explain Greyhaven away and starts trying to survive it.

With the help of Eli — a boy who has watched this town reset itself more times than he can count — Cassie begins to understand what Greyhaven actually is: a place that forgets, over and over, because it doesn't know how to hold on to anything for long. Including her.

But Cassie knows something about holding on to what you've lost. And she's starting to think that's exactly what the town needs her to teach it — before the next reset takes her, too.

What the Water Holds is Book One of the Forgotten Places series — a haunting supernatural mystery about grief, memory, and the towns that don't know how to let go.
