About the Book

Goodnight Stranger

Lydia and Lucas Moore are in their late 20s when a stranger enters their small world on Wolf Island. Lydia, the responsible sister, has cared for her pathologically shy brother, Lucas, ever since their mom’s death a decade before. They live together, comfortable yet confined, in their family house by the sea, shadowed by events from their childhood.

When Lydia sees the stranger step off the ferry, she feels an immediate connection to him. Lucas is convinced that the man, Cole Anthony, is the reincarnation of their baby brother, who died when they were young. Cole knows their mannerisms, their home, the topography of the island. What else could that mean?

To find out, Lydia must finally face her anxiety about leaving the island and challenge Cole’s grip on her family’s past and her brother. A deliciously alluring read, GOODNIGHT STRANGER is a story of choices and regrets, courage and isolation, and the ways we hold on to those we love.
