The Woman Who Refused Death (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798274633635)

When the train wreck took her husband, Adelaide Hartford thought grief was the cruelest thing the world could offer.

Something ancient survived that night-something patient, furious that she refused its call. Now the dead won't stop whispering her name. And the living have begun to notice.

Desperate, Adelaide turns to the church for deliverance. The ritual fails. But when the priest proclaims her healed, she realizes the lie might save her.

If she can become the most pious woman in Mill Brook, the town will never suspect what still follows her home.

All she has to do is make sure the dead claim someone else.

Because the veil never closes on its own-and the woman who refused death will do anything to keep her place in the light.

Even if it means sacrificing another in her stead.
