Before the Graveyard Secret tells the haunting and heartfelt story of Mary Dicks' childhood—long before the whispers, the gravestones, and the unravelling truths. Growing up in the shadowed village of Hollow's End, young Mary senses that something unspoken hovers over her family like a storm about to break.

Her mother, Eliza, is a woman of silences and secrets—her past hidden behind veils of fear and duty. As Mary stumbles upon fragments of forgotten letters, hidden lockets, and strange midnight visitors, she begins to question everything she's been told.

In a place where trust is scarce and the past is buried deep—sometimes literally—Mary's journey to uncover the truth becomes a fight to protect her own soul. But some truths are more dangerous than lies... and some ghosts are not content to stay buried.

A chilling, emotional prequel to The Graveyard Secret, this novel weaves mystery, family, and legacy into a tale that lingers long after the last page is turned.
