Resurrection Girls
Book - 2019
Drawn out of her grief by new neighbors, the Hallas women, sixteen-year-old Olivia Foster perceives a darkness surrounding them that goes beyond Kara Hallas's habit of writing to men on death row.
Olivia Foster hasn't felt alive since her little brother drowned in the backyard pool three years ago. When Kara Hallas moves in across the street with her mother and grandmother, Olivia is drawn to these three generations of women. Olivia not only comes to accept Kara's morbid habit of writing to men on death row, she helps her do it. They sign their letters as the Resurrection Girls. Olivia soon realizes that a different kind of darkness taints the otherwise lively Hallas women: an impulse that is strange, magical, and possibly deadly. -- adapted from jacket
