KILL DEVIL HILLS

Kill Devil Hills, a popular North Carolina beach town on the Outer Banks, is the setting for Emma's unusual tale.

The mesmerizing effect from the sea easily replaced hot, sultry Chicago summers and its blustery, snowy winters. She was content there—at least for a while.
As much as Emma liked living in Kill Devil Hills tragedies followed her, and she never experienced happiness for any length of time. Whatever demons caused the bad events in her life ultimately affected her reality and relationships.
In spending her later years in a small Northern Maine village by the sea, she felt at long last she'd found peace. But had she?
