An eating disorder starves her.
The Silver women have always had a strong connection, a pull over one another that reaches across time and space, and when Lily, Miranda\'s mother, passes away suddenly while on a trip abroad, Miranda begins suffering strange ailments.
Grand and cavernous with hidden passages and buried secrets, it\'s been home to four generations of Silver women--Anna, Jennifer, Lily, and now Miranda, who has lived in the house with her twin brother, Eliot, ever since their father converted it to a bed-and-breakfast.
