Dolls In The Attic

The muddied jeep flew off the cliff and Chancey floated above questioning if Rake meant to kill her. Chancey Coolidge, a forty something stay-at-home mom, trades in her dream for fame and fortune in exchange for her perception of the American dream. Struggling to be noticed by her husband, she ponders her purpose in life, and volunteers at the Humane Society, hopeful her encounter there will prove to be more fulfilling than her relationship with her husband. In search of companionship, she meets Rake, twenty years her junior, and forms a connection she never knew two souls could share. Bonded by their views on life and death, Chancey begins an affair that can only end one way. On the eve of her passing her husband discovers her poetry, revealing her inner most thoughts and feelings. Mortified her secrets are revealed, her journey as an angel flourishes while nine dolls, tucked away in attics, come to life, as symbols of the abuse and torture Chancey experienced as a child. She relives her pain and torment through these dolls and finally realizes what love truly looks like. While her spirit begins to make amends to her husband, the nine dolls become one.

Most people head to the Florida Keys for some rest and relaxation. Not Cafferty and Quinn Colby Kennedy has called his old friend, Michael Quinn, looking for help after his sister was hit by a car. The story she's telling as to what happened to her doesn't make any sense at all, and has the doctors fearing for her sanity. But Colby is hoping that Quinn and his partner - and girlfriend - Danni Cafferty will be able to get to the bottom of what has left his sister totally terrified. Because it certainly can't be true that a zombie nun doll is responsible for the fear that sent her running straight into a car. Cafferty and Quinn have been exploring the evil, the cursed and the haunted in New Orlean. Hopefully they will be able to discover what these haunted dolls are after in the Florida Keys before someone else gets hurt.
