SYNOPSIS: Serpent’s Lullaby: Few people know the name of the eccentric woman living in the centuries-old mansion just outside of
town. Even fewer have seen her face. But everyone has heard the stories. Rumors of a secret garden in her backyard where her children are buried. Some think she is simply a grieving widowed mother seeking solitude. Others believe she’s a cold-blooded monster. When the empty baby’s crib in her home and her lost love become too much for her to bear she makes a decision that will change the course of the story.
