Sherlyn has always known something was wrong with her family. She saw it in her father before he died. She feels it in the thin walls of her mother’s trailer. And after her sister Callie comes home with a smile not her own, Sherlyn sees it again.
Something old has been waiting in Willet’s Rest: something tied to Daddy’s hidden books, Granny Bea’s dead garden, and the cracks in the world where grief lets the wrong things through.
As Sherlyn begins to reveal the evil buried beneath Willet's Rest's churches, gardens, and good ol’ boy smiles, she has to decide whether her sister can still be saved—or whether saving Callie means admitting the thing wearing her face was invited in long before the revival ever began.
