How far would you go to protect someone you love? Nothing is black
or white in the murky town of Alderman, North Carolina, no matter
how much the human and ghostly residents of Idyllic Grove Rice
Plantation would like it to be. In 1949, fourteen-year-old Lillian
Green witnesses the unthinkable. Her choice to remain silent about
what she saw ripples into the swamp water surrounding her family s
home, awakening the ghost of Roberta du Bois, former rice
plantation mistress, who drowned herself in the swamp in 1859.
Roberta and Lillian forge a bond based on shame, silence, and an
impenetrable loneliness. When Lillian s daughter Hannah is born
into the maze of haunted hallways, Lillian has no interest in
raising her. Left alone, Hannah discovers Roberta as well as her
own exceptional singing voice. The tangled storylines of the three
women rooted to this Southern landscape pull the reader into the
layers of racism, family loyalties, and hidden relationships that
intertwine as naturally as the kudzu that covers the trees where
the Swamp Sirens sing. When the truth about what Lillian saw
surfaces, no one, living or dead, can prevent what must come next.
