Possessions
It's 1978, when a young executive decides to celebrate his success by relocating his family to a new home in the country. The house he falls in love with seems flawless — charming, spacious, and wrapped in a warm country atmosphere that feels instantly inviting. But beneath that comforting exterior lies a chilling truth. A child died here, and his death still lingers. Can he keep it a secret? Being a man of logic, he believes in what he can see, hear and touch.
​
What the children don't know won't hurt them.
For 8 year-old Ginny, the new house is a marvel, the yard seems endless and it comes with a pool! What she never counted on and cannot understand, however, is the presence of a little boy. He seems normal enough, at first, but as Ginny tries to convince her family that this "friend" is more than just imaginary, she uncovers something else. Another secret that no one saw coming. A dark and twisted supernatural presence is tied to the boys' ghost. It is this sinister force that haunts their new home, banging doors and moving objects as though he is still alive...
Follow the story of a brave little girl, who keeps asking 'why' as she works in the dark to shine a bright light on a secret she only half understands.
True Story
Possessions is a spine-tingling novel that follows the story of a young family who unwittingly moves into a brand new, haunted house.
How a brand new house could be haunted is mystery number one but as they struggle to understand what's happening to them, it becomes clear that the entity is drawn to their autistic, non-verbal son. Who is this mysterious ghost, and what does it want with Adam? Only he can tell them, but spoken language for this five-year-old is almost impossible.
In a society that cannot believe in ghosts, no one is coming to help them. Leaving isn't an option, when bankruptcy is a real and lasting consequence. Can they fight this paranormal predator to take back their home, all while pretending to the neighbors that everything is normal?
This is a deep dive into what it's really like to live with a sinister, supernatural force.

Fighting evil wasn't our 9 to 5. We still had to get up in the morning and go on with life, even while ours was falling apart. Marc and I fought all the time Adam was relentless with his screaming, and the baby? I made every excuse to get her out of the house.
