In 1894 Minneapolis, spiritualism of every stripe is all the rage, and women are dying under mysterious circumstances. When a new guest arrives at the Bethany Home for Unwed Mothers, refusing to speak, the stories of unexplained deaths seem unconnectedP#8212;until FaithP#8217;s suspicious reticence sets the house abuzz with whispers of dark magic.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Abby, the Bethany HomeP#8217;s treasurer, thinks the rumors swirling around Faith are nonsense, but she recognizes the danger of a good story. Abby tasks FaithP#8217;s roommate, May, with tracing FaithP#8217;s path to the Bethany Home. Desperate to end her year at Bethany Home engaged and on track to her happily-ever-after, May begins digging into FaithP#8217;s shadowy background. But the more May learns, the more sheP#8217;s forced to question the dubious motives of everyone around her, and as the body count rises, May must reevaluate her future, and which lies sheP#8217;s willing to tell, for whom. Inspired by a true crime that rocked the nation, Caroline Woods reimagines a classic American story through the eyes of three unforgettable women.
