Description: Towner Whitney comes from a family of Salem women who can read the future in the patterns of lace and have guarded a history of secrets for generations. But there is one secret that Towner wants to avoid at all costs, and for seventeen years she has been ignoring the truth about her twin sister's fate and living a life of careful exile. When she hears that her beloved Great Aunt Eva has gone missing, however, she must return to her hometown to unpick the mystery surrounding the old woman's disappearance — and face the terrible events that split her family apart.

The Lace Reader is a mesmerizing tale of family, loss and intrigue that spirals into a world of secrets, confused identities and half-truths — a world where anything might happen but where, as Towner says, 'there are no accidents'.
