We Hear the Dead

by Dianne K. Salerni

A fictionalized account of the Fox sisters, the young girls who sparked the Spiritualism movement in 19th-century America through their supposed communications with the dead. Salerni explores the blurred line between fraud and belief, ambition and regret, as Maggie reflects on the deception that captivated a nation.
