Summary
Iris Lockhart is stunned when she receives news that her great-aunt Esme, a previously unknown woman edited out of her family's history, is being released from Cauldstone Hospital, where she has been confined for more than sixty years, and soon discovers that Esme holds the key to long-hidden family secrets that could change her life forever.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In the middle of tending to the everyday business at her vintage-clothing shop and sidestepping her married boyfriendâs attempts at commitment, Iris Lockhart receives a stunning phone call: Her great-aunt Esme, whom she never knew existed, is being released from Cauldstone Hospitalâwhere she has been locked away for more than sixty-one years.
Irisâs grandmother Kitty always claimed to be an only child. But Esmeâs papers prove she is Kittyâs sister, and Iris can see the shadow of her dead father in Esmeâs face.Â
Esme has been labeled harmlessâsane enough to coexist with the rest of the world. But she's still basically a stranger, a family member never mentioned by the family, and one who is sure to bring life-altering secrets with her when she leaves the ward. If Iris takes her in, what dangerous truths might she inherit?
A gothic, intricate tale of family secrets, lost lives, and the freedom brought by truth, The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox will haunt you long past its final page.
