Hildy Good is a lifelong resident of a historic community on the rocky coast of Boston's North Shore. As a townie, she knows pretty much everything about everyone. A descendant of one of the witches hung in nearby Salem, some believe Hildy inherited psychic gifts, but really she's just good at reading people. But when her daughters send her off to rehab convinced that she is an alcoholic, Hildy feels like proving she's not is like proving you're not a witch. Alone and feeling unjustly persecuted, Hildy finds a friend in Rebecca McCallister, a beautiful, wealthy newcomer. But not everyone takes to Rebecca, who is herself the subject of town gossip. When a cluster of secrets become dangerously entwined, the reckless behavior of one threatens to expose the other, and this darkly comic novel takes a chilling turn.
