"Not all ghosts are listless spirits; some are secrets with a legacy. When a reclusive Hollywood starlet dies, her will forces two estranged families to live under the same roof in her decaying, creepy mansion. Christina Li masterfully tells a multigenerational family tale about what achieving the American dream gets you, and what it costs. It also has moments of true suspense that kept me turning the pages long into the night. It’s a quiet, atmospheric and deeply unsettling book that will stick with you long after you finish."
