"They say Cape Disappointment is haunted. That's why tourists used to flock there in droves to visit the rocky shoreline and the creaky old lighthouse, fishing shells from the icy water as they pretended to spot dark shapes in the surf. But the tourists are gone now, and when Meredith Strand returns to her childhood home on the eve of her divorce, young daughter in tow, the Cape seems more haunted by regret than any malevolent force. But her mother, suffering from Alzheimer's, is convinced the stories are real. Not only is there something in the water, but it's watching them. Waiting for them. Reaching out to Meredith's daughter the way it has to every woman in their line for generations-ready to reclaim what once was stolen"-- Provided by publisher.
