Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Sing Down the Moon by Robert Gwaltney. Memory is a ghost, and she’s coming home.
Sixteen-year-old Leontyne Skye dreams of escaping Good Hope, the Georgia barrier island shackled to her family’s cursed legacy. For generations, the Skye women have tended Damascus, an ancient fig tree whose haunting song calls the dead across the river. Its fruit becomes Redemption, a drug that binds the island to the dead and slowly devours the women sworn to harvest it.
Leontyne’s mother, Eulalee, is already fading, losing memories, hair, teeth, dissolving into the salt-heavy air. And Leontyne is unraveling too after Tribulation Day, the accident that took her hand and shattered her sense of self. As broken memories begin to surface and her childhood friends, Rebecca and Avery, twist the truth for their own purposes, Leontyne must confront a brutal inheritance determined to claim her.
