About The Curse of Hester Gardens We Need to Talk about Kevin as if written by Jason Reynolds and Tananarive Due meets Model Home by Rivers Solomon. An innovative twist on the haunted house novel - the story of a mother desperate to protect her sons from the twin specters of gun violence and otherworldly menace in their public housing project. Nona McKinley raised three boys in the Hester Gardens section of Medford, Michigan, an impoverished community divided between those who live by faith and those who turn to crime to survive. With her husband behind bars and her eldest son shot to death at eighteen, Nona has devoted herself to keeping her other children off the same path. Her second son Marcus is on track. A valedictorian headed to an Ivy League school. He can get out. But then strange things begin happening across Hester Gardens. Phantom footsteps when Nona is alone. Ghostly encounters in the streets. Appliances switching on without explanation. And her living sons are changing. Lance is running with the wrong crowd. Marcus grows moody, secretive, at times barely recognizable. Nona has her secrets too. She fears that someone - or something - is seeking revenge for a choice she made in a moment of weakness to protect her family. And now everyone in Hester Gardens must pay the price.
