Summary
Mary Gibson has lived her whole life under the domineering hands of her cruel parents and the stifling confines of her small Nebraska town, Wallows. The lonely preachers daughter finds solace only in stories, the books she smuggles under pillows transporting her to a better place. She spends hours in a long abandoned house that sits outside of town, and the dilapidated rooms become her only shelter from the cruel world outside. But one day she returns from a summer at her grandmothers to find the house sold. The place that was once hers is now inhabited by a frightening, brooding man - Joel Miller. From the moment she meets him, she hates Joel. She despises him for taking away the only thing that was hers. But as her loathing for Joel slowly morphs into obsession, she hears whispers from the residents of Wallows. Joel has been here before, and there is a reason he is back. Something lurks under the surface of every interaction she has with Joel, and the streets of Wallows taunt her with the secrets they keep. Nothing is as it seems, and as her involute relationship with Joel pulls her closer to the truth she realizes she is teetering on the edge of something sinister, something far bigger than herself or the town of Wallows
