The Unknowing
“Our pain isn’t here to hurt us. It only wants to be seen.”
When tragedy takes the life of sixteen-year-old Devan Jacoby, grief shatters his family. Desperate to see them happy again, the boy’s soul remains in the earthly realm, at his grandmother’s house on the rocky Connecticut coast. In the years that follow, his parents and siblings neglect each other, cheat and lie, wall themselves off, and cling to grudges. Stagnant and stuck, attached to their suffering, they can’t move on until they all let go.
After a decade apart, the estranged family reunites at a wedding in Rhode Island—on New Year’s Eve at a run-down inn with its own dark past—and Devan risks his place in the afterlife to help his loved ones find forgiveness. To heal though, they’ll have to dig up their guilt, unearth the truth, and exhume old secrets.
But are some secrets best left buried?

excellent ghost story
This is the kind of story that makes you believe in ghosts. A troubled family come together for an event only to be faced with the reality that love and forgiveness are essential parts of life’s journey.
