About the Book
Claire, an elderly recluse held captive by the heartaches and secrets of her past, resides at Stone Gate with her middle-aged daughter. An unexpected visit from her grandson encourages the elderly woman to gradually reveal events of earlier years.
She recalls the unexplained death of her poet aunt, Riona, which leaves her autistic cousin, Jonathan, motherless and forever changes the dynamics at Stone Gate. After the arrival of the new governess, Claire finds herself inexplicably drawn to a presence in The Belvedere at Stone Gate.
