The box of old photographs lay quietly in the attic of the home for years, a record of its residents and those of its nearby twin house. In the box, the secrets of generations wait restlessly for someone capable of sensing their presence.

Fifty-six-year-old Sarah Salas has relocated to a secluded house in the North Cascades of Washington State. An unwilling clairvoyant since birth, she heeds the call of the photos. Through the faded pictures, the deceased offer fragments of a tale of incest, jealousy, and murder.

As Sarah slowly pieces together the tattered remnants of the past, she finds her present complicated by an attraction to her next-door neighbor Conrad Thompson, who has a strong connection to the former residents of the twin houses haunting Sarah. He may also hold the key to her future—if Sarah is willing to let him into her secluded life.

Part romance, part paranormal mystery, The Gift of the Twin Houses offers a past that, if accepted, might empower the future.
