The Light on Horn Island By Valerie Fraser Luesse

When Edie Gardner’s life in New York comes crumbling down, her grandmother Adele “Punk” Cheramie urges her to return to Bayou du Chêne, a tiny hamlet in coastal Mississippi where Edie spent many happy summers growing up. Punk and her three closest friends introduce Edie to the Trove, a fascinating gallery and antique shop that seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

The Trove’s proprietor, Jason Toussaint, has a gift for reading his customers’ needs. He gives Edie a Victorian parlor game called Confessions, which asks players a series of ever-more-personal questions. It seems like harmless fun at first. But the game has a way of uncovering secrets–including a heartbreaking disappearance that has haunted one of the players for decades.

Banding together, these women are determined to mend each other’s hurts, encourage each other’s dreams, and find the answers that will bring healing.
