What if the place you returned to for healing held secrets waiting to be unearthed-and spirits that refused to leave? In Countenance, a heartbroken mother seeks refuge at her family's ancestral inn in the hills of Tennessee. But The Playhouse Inn has a history of its own-and it remembers everything. As Nealey unravels a tapestry of grief, forgiveness, and the supernatural, she discovers that healing often comes from the most unexpected places ... even beyond the veil. Perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen and Alice Hoffman, this Southern gothic novel blends lyrical storytelling, ghostly mystery, and emotional depth into a tale that lingers long after the final page.
