Description

Bound and gagged in a damp grave in New York's Potter's Field after witnessing her parents' murder, 14-year-old Rose's only hope of survival is Hart Island's legendary Mortuary Man. And he wants her dead. Forced to hide on neighboring City Island, her rebellious nature makes her ignore the very rules meant to keep her alive. But when three local teenagers blend her into their community, she finds a life she only dreamt of: first kiss, first love, first beer. And all she has to do is change everything about herself while she prepares for the fight of her life. Set in 1944, The Girl from Potter's Field is a coming-of-age tale of romance, revenge and reincarnation. This novel is a stand-alone sequel to The City Island Messenger.
