Eva
grew up watching her father, Miles, invent strange and wonderful things
in the small workshop behind their house on the river that runs through
their old mill town. But the most important invention of all was the
one that Miles claimed came from the mind of Thomas Edison himself--a
machine that allowed one to speak with loved ones long passed. Smuggled
out of Edison's laboratory, the blueprints were passed down to Miles,
and he's been using them to protect Eva, her mother, Lily, and her
brother, Errol, ever since.
Then, one night when a storm is
raging and the river is threatening to flood, the machine whirrs to life
on its own. Danger, it says. You're in terrible danger. The next thing
Eva knows is waking up on the side of the river and seeing her mother's
grim face. Eva's father and brother are dead, their house has been
washed away and an evil man is searching for them both. They need to
hide.
Eva changes her name to Necco--a candy she always
loved--and tries to put everything in her past behind her as she adapts
to her new life off the grid. But when her boyfriend is murdered and her
mother disappears, she knows that the past is starting to catch up to
her.
What really happened the night of the flood? As Necco
searches for the truth, her journey unites her with two women who are on
desperate quests of their own. And as the trio follows the clues to
solving the mystery of Necco's past, they discover that sometimes it's
the smallest towns that hold the strangest secrets.
