Left to languish alone, and facing mortality for the first time in its life, a two-hundred-year-old house vividly recalls, in its own words, two of its beloved families.
Magnus Quinn, a reclusive sea captain, whose heart has been marred by a horrific tragedy, hesitantly agrees to marry Audrey, a pregnant woman with whom he shares a volatile past. As they forge a tentative bond, their relationship is hampered by secrets—one, long-buried, one, still raw—which threaten to tear them apart, along with Quinn’s brooding and vindictive brother Callum, who will stop at nothing to end their marriage.
Charlie Montgomery just turned thirteen and shares a bedroom with her younger brother Travis and his invisible friend Billy. She lives with her divorced mother and grandmother, who reads palms to help make ends meet. Notably missing from her family unit is her older brother Tyler, who has been sent to fight in Vietnam, and her estranged father, who’s in a rock band that no one has ever heard of.
As Charlie tries to traverse the perils of middle school, as well as the challenges of growing up in an eccentric family, she is suddenly bestowed a gift that follows the line of her grandmother. When this gift allows her to see a disaster that threatens to end the very existence of her family, she must come to terms with a life she never wanted in order to try and save them.
