She has moved to an island at the far reaches of the continent to restore the house of an equally haunted figure, her mysterious great-uncle; but as her life begins to rebuild itself along with the house, his story starts to wrap around hers. Powerful forces are stirring, but Rae cannot see where her reality leaves off and his fate begins.
Fifty-two years old, Rae must battle the feelings that have long tormented her - panic, melancholy, and a skin-crawling sense of watchers behind the trees. Before she came here, she believed that most of the things she feared existed only in her mind. And who can say, as disturbing incidents multiply, if any of the watchers on Folly Island might be real? Is Rae paranoid, as her family and the police believe, or is the threat genuine? Is the island alive with promise - or with dangers?
Emotionally devastated by the deaths of her husband and daughter, fifty-two-year-old Rae Newborn seeks refuge on the remote, uninhabited island of Folly, where she hopes to restore the house belonging to her mysterious great-uncle, and finds herself battling melancholy, loneliness, panic, and the feeling that malevolent watchers are threatening her life.
