THE WRONG CHILD

Three years after fifteen-year-old Caleb Holloway disappeared without a trace, his family finally gets the miracle they stopped believing would ever happen.

Caleb comes home.

His DNA matches. His fingerprints match. His scars are exactly where they should be. To Rachel and David Holloway, there can be no doubt-their son has returned.

But Caleb's younger sister, Nora, knows something is wrong.

He remembers the important things, yet the small details don't add up. A childhood nickname is backward. A favorite toy has the wrong name. Private memories are missing or changed. And late at night, Nora begins seeing Caleb behave in ways no human being should.

Then the Holloways uncover a hidden space beneath their home-and find evidence that Caleb may not be the first missing child to return wrong.

Their search for the truth leads them to Blackridge, an abandoned institution connected to generations of vanished children, secret experiments, and something that has spent more than a century learning how to imitate the people we love.

Because whatever came home wearing Caleb's face doesn't just want his life.

It wants his family.

And Nora may be next.

THE WRONG CHILD is a dark supernatural horror novel about family, identity, memory, and the terrifying possibility that the person you prayed to get back may not be the person who returned.
