Intercessions - Kathleen Eull
- A Novel
"Eull's Intercessions is both a Hitchcockian thriller and the deeply personal journey of a forgotten victim. Grief, trauma, disorientation, stalking are just the tip of the iceberg. A debut novel not to be missed." -Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of Sleepless City
When young Corianne Dempsey and her best friend, Rebecca, are approached by a stranger on their way to school, only one girl makes it home. When Rebecca turns up dead, Corianne's childhood ends abruptly.
Growing up in the long shadow of this event, Corianne is now a conflicted young woman seeking solace in dangerous places. Her hauntingly-dark dreams begin crossing into waking life, hinting that the past she remembers may be a lie.
Driven to make sense of what is happening, she returns to the only place she feels solid, the farm that provided an escape all those years ago, and the one person who has never judged or blamed her-the husband of her mother's best friend.
With his help she begins to let in the darkness she has tried so hard to shut away and learns that truth and healing are even more complicated than she imagined.
