Fiction Family Life
From the author of the “wonderfully crafted” (San Francisco
Book Review) Ghost on Black Mountain comes a haunting gothic
novel set in the Depression-era South about two young women
who form an unlikely alliance when the spirit of a dead
woman takes up residence in their home. Shelly Parker, a sixteen-year-old servant who works for the
tyrannical Pastor Dobbins and his family, has had the gift
of sight for as long as she can remember. She’s grown
accustomed to coexisting with the spirits of the dead who
roam Black Mountain, telling Shelly their stories and
warning her of the dangers that surround her. When the ghost
of Arleen Brown, a poor woman who died on the mountain
during childbirth five years earlier, begins to pursue
Pastor’s daughter Faith—hell-bent on revealing a terrible
secret that she took to her grave—Shelly is the only person
that can help her. The two young women soon find themselves
tangled up in a web of secrets and lies that takes them from
Black Mountain to the murky saltwater marshes of Georgia,
uncovering long-hidden truths that put their own lives in
danger… Atmospheric and infused with supernatural elements, Hite’s
novel is a rich and wonderfully eerie tale that will stay
with you long after the story ends.
