Fifteen-year-old Jeremi Kincaid keeps silent only because she knows it will do no good to tell anyone-including her mother, Joesze-that her stepfather, Rudy Dorsey, is a serial rapist and she is one of his victims. But when Joeze catches Rudy molesting her daughter, she succumbs to a deadly brain aneurysm. Now orphaned and pregnant, Jeremi is given a new life-and a blank journal-by her guardian Samantha, who encourages the teenager to chronicle the attacks. But when Jeremi unexpectedly dies while giving birth to a boy, Samantha desperately searches for the diary she hopes will bring the teen's unnamed attacker to justice. To her dismay, the journal remains hidden. Fifteen years later, Jeremiah Michelson and best friend, Treasure Dorsey, are high school students who have no idea their inexplicable bond is blood deep. Their father, Rudy, is on the prowl again-this time his focus is on his daughter, Treasure. Using the pages of her recently discovered journal, Jeremi's spirit appears from beyond to solicit help from her son, Jeremiah, to stop Rudy from committing another horrific act. In this compelling novel, spirit and earthly worlds collide as a young girl travels back from the grave in a race against time to prevent the past from repeating itself.
