Synopsis

The Madwoman of Preacher's Cove tells the story of Lucy Addams, a woman who was horribly disfigured in a fire that claimed the lives of her husband and children. After the tragic loss of her beauty, her voice, and her family, Lucy became an artistic genius, sculpting lifelike dolls—replicas of the children of Preacher's Cove.

Lucy, and her workshop, are hidden in the back of the local resort—a hotel and restaurant complex owned and operated by her sister, Libby.

Following a series of deaths by lightning strike in Preacher's Cove, a handsome investigative reporter arrives to solve the mystery of the coincidental accidents. Lucy and Libby find themselves facing yet another enemy. As keepers of an ancient treasure—a secret that binds them—they alone know why the deaths have occurred, and more importantly, how to stop them.

With the eventual help of Libby and Lucy, the reporter finds a sacred place in the woods called The Hallows—where Druids once roamed, and where his answers are deeply buried.

After months of investigating, the death toll rising, a bit of romance, and otherworldly harbingers of Lucy's dolls, the mystery of Preacher's Cove begins to unravel.

In Preacher's Cove the madwoman may not be so mad after all. In her silence, the madwoman, Lucie Addams, uses art as her form or communication.
