A New York Times bestseller -- "A great-aunt's disappearance forces a troubled woman to confront her painful past... Tense, enchanting and beautiful" (Kirkus).

Every gift has a price... every piece of lace has a secret.

Towner Whitney, the self-confessed unreliable narrator, hails from a family of Salem women who can read the future in the patterns in lace, and who have guarded a history of secrets going back generations. Now the disappearance of two women is bringing Towner back home to Salem -- and is bringing to light the shocking truth about the death of her twin sister.
