Annotated passage at Grab the Lapels

I'm so grateful to Grab the Lapels for allowing me to annotate an excerpt from The Curse of Hester Gardens. This prologue scene shows Nona and her sons Kendall, Marcus, Lance, as well as their neighbors Mother Lincoln and Peter, back when the boys were little.

If you've finished the book, this prologue and my notes just might break your heart.
