A family home at the heart of a town’s buried history

In Sacajawea, Washington, the Toussaint family’s home carries a reputation that changes after a tragedy inside it. Two years after her son Corey’s death, Angela returns to investigate what happened and whether it connects to an entity her grandmother confronted decades earlier. The mystery also reaches beyond the family: the town has suffered other calamities, and Angela must reckon with questions about her grandmother’s reputation and the community’s past. The supernatural premise is woven through family history, grief, and secrets shared—or concealed—across generations.

Book overview

From award-winning author Tananative Due, a critically acclaimed story of supernatural suspense, as a woman searches for the inherited power that can save her hometown from evil forces.

The home that belonged to Angela Toussaint's late grandmother is so beloved that the townspeople in Sacajawea, Washington call it the Good House. But that all changes one summer when an unexpected tragedy takes place behind its closed doors, and the Toussaint's family history--and future--is dramatically transformed.

Angela has not returned to the Good House since her son, Corey, died there two years ago. But now, Angela is finally ready to return to her hometown and go beyond the grave to unearth the truth about Corey's death. Could it be related to a terrifying entity Angela's grandmother battled seven decades ago? And what about the other senseless calamities that Sacajawea has seen in recent years? Has Angela's grandmother, an African American woman reputed to have "powers," put a curse on the entire community?

A thrilling exploration of secrets, lies, and divine inspiration, The Good House will haunt readers long after its chilling conclusion.
