Inhaltsangabe

Three souls. Three centuries. One forgery of heaven. Montana, 2012. Emily Ellen drowned in the Clark Fork the summer she was sixteen, four feet from her little brother, and she has not left her bedroom since. Then a living girl moves into that room and cries in exactly the way Emily used to cry, and asks whether they are the same person. It is the kindest thing that has happened to Emily since she died. It is also the most dangerous. Vietnam, 1965. Corporal Shelby Raymond enlisted to become the son his father actually wanted. Sixteen men followed him up a staircase in a building with no roof, and he has spent forty-seven years on that floor with their bones, looking for the place where he could have done it differently. Salem, 1692. Dawn Adams was four weeks short of her sixteenth birthday when she went into a frightened child's room to ease the pain of a burned hand. Her mother sat on the High Council of Witches. Her father was the judge sending girls to the fire. Each of them is found. Each of them is offered a gate, a light, a field with a river running through it - everything they have wanted for decades or for centuries. And each of them walks in. But the light in that field comes up from underneath, and there are four bridges pretending to be eleven, and the man who collected them was a president once, before he pressed a red button and was shot at his own desk reaching for something he still cannot name. He works for something older than he is. And it wants one thing more than it has ever wanted anything. It wants the girl from Salem. Nobody in this book is rescued. Two of them choose to stay. One of them keeps a secret that would break the only other person who could understand it. A dark supernatural novel of guilt, deception, and the roads people take without meaning to.
