Victoria Carsen: Fearful, anxious, stuck in a routine she dare not break.
Roxxie Starfall: Wild, fearless, drowning in guilt.
What do these two women have in common?
Only Emmeline, their old college roommate.
But now Emmeline is dead, and her journal has appeared in Tori's mailbox with no explanation or return address. As Tori begins reading it, she realizes that there was much more to Emmeline than she ever thought.
What to do? Call Roxxie.
Together, the two women try to piece together the life of their old friend and figure out just why Emmeline's journal came to Tori.
While Tori reads through the journal and maintains her normal routine, Roxxie travels to Emmeline's hometown of Chester Cross, where she hopes to gather more information. Instead, she finds a town on the verge of death and people who refuse to talk.
And to make matters worse, strange dreams mar both women's sleep, and voices echo in their minds.
Just what is going on, and why was it so important that Tori and Roxxie learn more about Emmeline?
Told in a mixture of prose and epistolary elements--emails, journals, police and medical reports--Emmeline's Tears chronicles the journey of two women as they try to understand a woman they never knew and find the connection between her and themselves. Once they set down the road, there is no turning back.
TRIGGER WARNING: suicide, abuse
