A hidden diary. A family's impossible choice. A secret that has haunted a desolate farm for a hundred years.
When grieving historian Daniel buys the derelict Blackwater Farm, he's hoping to escape his own past. Instead, he unearths someone else's. Hidden beneath a loose floorboard is the diary of Samuel, a young boy from the 1920s. The early entries paint a vivid picture of a bustling family life on the edge of the marsh. But as the pages turn, a heart-rending story of desperation emerges.
Following a devastating flood, Samuel's family makes an unthinkable pact to survive: one of their six children must be erased. Chosen by lot, twelve-year-old Samuel becomes a ghost in his own home, a secret kept within the farmhouse walls. His only connection to the world is his diary and the quiet, courageous love of his older brother.
Alternating between Samuel's lonely, hidden existence and Daniel's present-day obsession to uncover the truth, The Last Child of Blackwater Farm is a powerful and atmospheric novel about the depths of family sacrifice and the enduring power of memory.
For fans of Kate Morton and Where the Crawdads Sing, this unforgettable historical mystery explores the quiet dignity of a forgotten life and asks what we owe to the stories the past leaves behind.
