About This Book
At fifty-two, Rae Newborn is a woman on the edge: on the edge of sanity, on the edge of tragedy, and now on the edge of the world. A celebrated artist, she has moved to an island at the far reaches of the continent, into the house she inherited from her mysterious great-uncle. Isolated from the outside world, Rae will finally come face-to-face with the feelings that have long tormented her -- panic, melancholy, and the haunting sense that someone is watching her. Before she came to Folly Island, Rae believed most of the things she feared existed only in her mind. Now, as she rebuilds her life as well as the house, she finds her story and that of her dead uncle beginning to intertwine.
And who can say, as disturbing incidents multiply, if any of the watchers on Folly Island are real? Is Rae paranoid, as her family, her doctors, and the police believe, or is the danger genuine? Is the island alive with the promise of a new life -- or the threat of murder?
