A thrilling gothic horror novel about biracial twin sisters
separated at birth, perfect for fans of Lovecraft Country and The
Vanishing Half - now in paperback! Magnolia Heathwood, heiress to a
decrepit cotton plantation in Jim Crow's Georgia, was raised to be
the perfect southern belle. All her life she's prepared to carry on
the family dynasty, but according to her cruel grandmother, she
always falls short. When Magnolia finally learns the truth-that she
is not white in this segregated land, but mixed race-her reflection
vanishes from every mirror: a sign of a terrible curse. And life in
Eureka, Georgia is getting stranger every day: The most popular
girl in town launches an initiative to segregate the dead in the
local cemetery, and white-passing Magnolia doesn't know how much
longer she can bear to live a lie. Meanwhile, Charlie Yates, an
aspiring Civil Rights organizer from Harlem, is speeding toward
Eureka beside her dying grandmother. Nana's last wish is to be
buried in the land they fled seventeen years ago, after the brutal
murder of Charlie's parents, who were killed for loving across the
color line. On a segregated train car, brave Charlie has never felt
so powerless. Nana's told her plenty of stories about the cursed
town they're headed for-but she's never told her that she left a
twin sister, Magnolia, behind. The sisters reunite as teenagers in
the deeply haunted town of Eureka, where ghosts linger centuries
after their time, and dangers lurk behind every mirror. They
couldn't be more different, but they will need each other: to put
the hauntings of the past to rest, to break the mirrors' deadly
curse-and to discover the meaning of sisterhood in a racially
divided land.
