Porter adapts the time-honored legends, history and charm of Block Island to weave a touching, fast-paced story that delivers a compelling message of family, history, preservation and legacy.
By: SPIMAC In the novel, professional spiritual channelers Clement and Jessica Bradford are attracted by the coastal island's heavenly vistas, cool summer breezes, and affable residents, and relocate their family to Manisses to raise their two eccentric daughters in the storybook New England atmosphere -- and talk to the dead. But a foolish mistake from their past haunts them, and when a local girl goes missing, it takes the whole family, including a peculiar doll named Otto, to stop history from repeating itself. Manisses is a rollicking adventure told through a thousand years of history, where you'll meet a brave native maiden, a demure pirate, Prohibition rum-runners, a vengeful witch and many others -- all connected through time by fate and an inconspicuous pile of rocks.
