When the time is right, it seizes its chance to once again enter the world of the living, a world from which Julia is soon taken. As the fabric of reality, for Anne, begins to come undone, she must face not only a drug-addicted, murderous psychopath, but also an evil so powerful its mere whim can destroy life or create monstrosity. A sympathetic stranger, Ed Jones, may help Anne discover the true fate of her daughter's spirit. Yet it will terrify them both to learn the secret of The Quiet Child.
