Summary

Upon her grandmother's death, seventeen-year-old Cat must move to New Orleans with her bipolar mother, where she is haunted by strangely familiar visitors who know more about her than they shouldTen years ago, Cat's mother, Mary, left her at her grandmother's house with nothing but a deck of tarot cards. Cat is determined to make her life as different from Mary's as possible, but after her grandmother dies Cat is forced to move to New Orleans with her mother. There, she discovers a picture of Mary holding a baby that's not her, leading her to unravel a dark family history and challenge her belief that Mary's mental health issues are the root of all their problems. As Cat explores the reasons for her mother's breakdown, she fears she is experiencing her own. -- adapted from jacket
