The Girl Who Stayed

The house on Sullivan’s Island hadn’t represented home to Zoe Rutherford in decades. It was the place where she endured her father’s cruelty. It was the place where her mother closed herself off from the world. It was the place where her sister disappeared. But now that her parents are gone, she needs to return to the house, to close it down and prepare it for sale. She would get this done as quickly as possible and get on with the rest of her life, even though that life seems clouded by her past, both distant and recent. Zoe wasn’t sure what she was expecting when she came back to Sullivan’s Island. What she got was far beyond her imagining. A remarkable exploration of the soul by a writer with a rare talent for reaching into the hearts of her characters and her readers, THE GIRL WHO STAYED is a novel of transformation that will leave you moved and breathless.
