When Byrd Whalen returns
to her family’s ancestral home to uncover secrets threating to destroy a
legacy she holds dear, she gets more than she bargained for. Over the
course of one harrowing weekend, the dark haunted histories of the Amore
women reveal themselves, leading Byrd to question everything she’s ever
believed about herself.In 1890, Nan, the Amore family
matriarch, was sent away to America with little more than a baby and a
rocking chair, quickly finding work on the sprawling estate of the
wildly eccentric Green family. This new life is one she wanted: loving
and free with a family that understands and shares in her magic. But
when tragedy strikes, destroying the mansion and the precious lives
inside, Nan is left alone and pregnant with Reginald Green’s child. With
nothing more than the deed to the property, she builds a house from the
rubble and a new, pragmatic life. It would become a haunted life that
would lead to other haunted lives. It would become a house both terrible
and wonderful. It would become known as “The Witch House.”An unforgettable family saga in the Gothic tradition, Suzanne Palmieri’s The Witch House of Persimmon Point is her most powerful novel yet.
