About this listen
For a young caregiver in the Ozarks, an old house holds haunting memories in a ghostly novel about family secrets, sacrifice, and lost loves by the author of The Devil and Mrs. Davenport.
In the summer of 1925, the winds of change are particularly chilling for a young woman whose life has suddenly become unbalanced.
Devastated by her mother’s death and a cruel, broken engagement, Sadie Halloran learns that her great-aunt Marguerite, a renowned artist now in the throes of dementia, needs a live-in companion. Grasping at newfound purpose, Sadie leaves her desolate Kansas City boardinghouse for Blackberry Grange, Marguerite’s once-grand mansion sitting precariously atop an Arkansas bluff. Though Marguerite is a fading shell of the vibrant woman Sadie remembers, Marguerite is feverishly compelled to paint eerie, hallucinatory portraits of old lovers—some cherished, some regretted, and some beastly. All of them haunting.
With each passing night, time itself seems to shift with the shadows at Blackberry Grange. As truth and delusion begin to blur, Sadie must uncover the secrets that hold Marguerite captive to her past before reality—and Marguerite’s life—slips away entirely.

Critic reviews
“Kennedy has created an appealing character whose change from selfishness to empathy [is] at the heart of the book…”—Historical Novels Review
“The Artist of Blackberry Grange is an utter gothic delight. [Paulette Kennedy’s] signature use of an atmospheric Southern setting, evocative prose, and gothic suspense creates a winning combination. Kennedy keeps readers hooked until the very last page. Pitch-perfect pacing combined with very real—very human—characters make this a novel that will stick with you long after the final pages.”—Jess Armstrong, USA Today bestselling author of The Curse of Penryth Hall
“A bold, fresh story about the ghosts that haunt us and the ones we overcome. Paulette Kennedy explores loss and humility through the eyes of a saucy flapper who may bend the rules but not her sense of morality. This book will linger in your heart like the fond memory of a loved one.”—Mansi Shah, bestselling author of The Direction of the Wind
