On a secluded bluff overlooking the ocean sits a Victorian house, a home that contains a century's worth of secrets. It is a place Jane Flanagan can escape to. Twenty years later, Genevieve has transformed the house into a glossy white monstrosity. Strangely, Genevieve is convinced that the house is haunted. She hires Jane to research the history of the place. The story Jane uncovers - of lovers lost at sea, romantic longing, shattering loss, artistic awakening, historical artifacts stolen and sold, and the long shadow of colonialism - is even older than Maine itself.
