Once inseparable, Joel and Nina haven't spoken in twenty years. When Joel's mother, Monika, develops dementia, he has no choice but to return to his hometown. Monika needs specialist care, and that means Pineshade, which also means Joel is going to have to deal with his one-time best friend, Nina, who works there.

It's not long before Monika's health deteriorates. She starts having violent, terrifying outbursts, and worse, she appears to know things she couldn't possibly know. It's almost as if she isn't herself anymore. . . . but of course, that's true of most of the residents at Pineshade.

Only Nina and Joel know Monika well enough to see the signs. Only by working together can they try to find answers to the inexplicable. . . .

The Home is an eerie story about love, friendship, and the greatest fear of all: losing control of ourselves. It's a haunting tale that will leave readers questioning the nature of reality and the power of the human mind.
