Her Family Dolls

Sixty dolls. Sixty family members. One line in the ledger left empty. Dana Reuler inherits her great-aunt's house in Saratoga Springs on one condition: she cannot move the dolls. They line the stairs and windowsills, sixty of them, all dressed in hand-sewn copies of the family's own clothes. Then Dana sees the doll in the dress she wore at nine — the one still hanging in her closet. In the attic there's a ledger of dolls made and dolls destroyed, going back to 1893. Her mother's doll was destroyed the year Dana was born. And the last line of the ledger is dated the day Dana arrived in town. A horror mystery for readers who know every family keeps accounts.
