About the book: 2021 / Given that she had just attended her mother's funeral, Gloria James never expected to see this woman again, but then her dead mother appears in her house. Gloria's mother... has changed. She is younger than when she died, dressed in clothes from the 1980s. And no one in Gloria's family seems to recognize her. While Gloria tries to figure out the reason for her mother's reappearance—and the strange behavior the woman begins to exhibit—other bizarre events occur. The changes in Gloria's world, at first small and imperceptible, later become much more striking. The strange situation could be connected with a mysterious barn in a small Californian town. The strangers gathering around the barn seem to know Gloria's name... and they might not be strangers after all..
