Hanna, half black and half Finnish arrives on her mothers doorstep with a few peculiarities. She talks to her dead Poppa and has hit her Aunt Ulla over the head with a rolling pen. Turns out she's manic depressive with bouts of hallucinations. But when she arrives in Portero, Texas, she's no the strangest thing around anymore. Turns out the sect of people called the Mortmaines, who protect the weak from monsters and spirits that would like to do them harm. Hannah's mother, Rosalee, isn't happy to see her. Seems she immune to the mother daughter bond. Rosalee tells's Hanna that if she can't make friends or fit in in two weeks, she must leave and go back to her Aunt. Her Aunt who uses every opportunity to have Hanna committed.
This book was all over the place to me. I just couldn't find a place in the storyline that was interesting to me. Rosalee was crazy and so was Hannah.
