The Awakening of Myra Thomas

Myra feels her last violent gasps for air as the rope ascends into the sky. Her escape from slavery has failed, her life ending in brutal pain.

Images invade Karen Burns's sleep. The nightmares worsen, further alarming her husband Donald each night. Making matters worse, she ignores his pleas to see a psychiatrist when he begins to notice strange behavior-like her singing in a Southern dialect.

Soon Karen is stalked by a woman in ragged historical clothing. She succumbs to brutal beatings by something she can't see. Her family doctor doesn't have answers. No one does-especially not Karen. Just what can be causing this strange behavior? Is she approaching insanity? Or is something else lurking inside?

Author Ramona Sagola Frye weaves the painful history of slavery into a modern-day story of spiritual possession in "The Awakening of Myra Thomas," a gripping supernatural thriller that will leave readers racing through pages as Karen frantically attempts to discover the force ripping her sanity apart. Can she free herself-and the spirit haunting her-in time?
