520    "When social worker Jax receives nine missed calls from 
       her older sister, Lexie, she assumes that it's just 
       another one of her sister's episodes. Manic and 
       increasingly out of touch with reality, Lexie has pushed 
       Jax away for over a year. But the next day, Lexie is dead:
       drowned in the pool at their grandmother's estate. When 
       Jax arrives at the house to go through her sister's things,
       she learns that Lexie was researching the history of their
       family and the property. And as she dives deeper into the 
       research herself, she discovers that the land holds a far 
       darker past than she could have ever imagined. In 1929, 
       thirty-seven-year-old newlywed Ethel Monroe hopes 
       desperately for a baby. In an effort to distract her, her 
       husband whisks her away on a trip to Vermont, where a 
       natural spring is showcased by the newest and most modern 
       hotel in the Northeast. Once there, Ethel learns that the 
       water is rumored to grant wishes, never suspecting that 
       the spring takes in equal measure to what it gives. A 
       haunting, twisty, and compulsively readable thrill ride 
       from the author who Chris Bohjalian has dubbed the 
       "literary descendant of Shirley Jackson," The Drowning 
       Kind is a modern-day ghost story that illuminates how the 
       past, though sometimes forgotten, is never really far 
       behind us."--|cProvided by publisher.
