    Secrets of the Blue Moon

    Redemption awaits her…but only if she confronts all her ghosts. Devasted by her recent job loss and her husband's seeming indifference over her recent miscarriages, Marnie Putnam escapes, temporarily moving to quaint Lake Gardner, Georgia, to write a book about this historic, and allegedly haunted, town. But when noises and visions plague her at night, Marnie grapples with whether her own past regrets plague her, or if something more sinister possesses the house where two women died under the blue moon years earlier. Deciding to confront her fears and solve the mystery of these deaths, Marnie stays. She embraces the town's quirky stories and characters, including whispers about witches and wraiths, enigmatic lore shared by her mystical landlady, and the intriguing antics of a black cat. She even begins to face ghosts of her own—psychological and real—that she thought she buried long ago. But when another blue moon rises and yet another heinous death takes place, Marnie knows her life is in danger. If she returns home to her husband, she'll be safe, but without the answers she desperately seeks. But if she stays, she may not survive.
