Rose is seventeen and on the run, desperate to escape an
unspeakable home life in Miami. She finds herself in Possum
Kingdom, Tennessee, a tiny little town with secrets as dark as the
woods that surround it. Here she meets Robbie Jo, her new best
friend. The girl is dirt-poor, brilliant, funny...and bloodthirsty.
Robbie Jo is a young psychopath. A budding serial killer. She hides
her true nature from the people of Possum Kingdom-most of them,
anyway. The lucky ones. Rose settles into small-town life with
quiet joy. For the first time in her life, she feels safe. For the
first time, she falls in love. And she confides it all to her
new-found "sister." As Robbie Jo plays the townspeople like game
pieces, as she digs into past atrocity that is better off
forgotten, she draws Rose closer and closer. The battle for Rose's
soul has begun. But the stakes are higher than anyone could
imagine. "Possum Kingdom" is an intimate portrait of love and
madness, and an epic story of magic, murder, and outrageous
ambition. This is supernatural Southern Gothic taken to a whole new
level.
