about this book: This book is about three girls with the same grandparents. Sarah and Emily share the same parents and Regina is a cousin to both girls. All three girls reluctantly went their grandparent's home every summer when school is out; although, they would rather stay in their respective homes.

The feeling was mutual between all of the girls, so much more when Grandpa Tom began his nightly prowl in the girls' room when Grandma Rose was asleep. The story starts with the girl's lives as it is currently. Sarah is an experienced and cold attorney. Regina lucked out and married a really great guy and Emily, the youngest was in and out of jobs and lived alone.

The experience on the farm with their grandfather impacted their current lives in different ways. The book will take you in and out of their lives up until the day when they were summoned to their dying grandfather's bedside. With anticipation and trepidation, the girls went back to face their past.

This novel is filled with suspense, instances of real fear and the thick silence that seemed unbreakable.
