May

May McKie is an ordinary little girl in every way but one; she speaks to the dead. In the cold and dark rooms of her house, she summons the spirits who can’t let go, for the living who can’t let them go. She soon comes to the attention of Social Services via reports in the press about her gift. Opening old wounds, Andrea Simpson is assigned to report on her for the bureaucrats of local government. When Andrea joins forces with a reporter for a national paper, they seek to protect May from any more personal intrusion, and to understand the meaning behind the visions that are increasingly plaguing her. As Christmas looms and the weather worsens, old truths come home to roost, and blood stains the white snow of May’s young life.

About the Author
