Being With Beau. Southern Gothic, #1

In *Being With Beau*, M. L. Bullock transports readers to the heart of Semmes, Alabama, where the past and present intertwine in a haunting tale of first love, mystery, and the supernatural. Harper Lee McCrory, a thirteen-year-old girl, is struggling to find her place in a world filled with loss and change. After the death of her father, she returns to her grandfather's farm, a place brimming with old secrets, ghostly whispers, and the lingering memory of a boy named Beau. Harper's lonely summer days take a strange turn when she encounters Beau, a boy as mysterious as the sandy paths she walks.
Despite the warnings in her gut, she feels drawn to him-like he's the answer to a question she's been too afraid to ask. But is Beau real, or just another tale spun by the landscape she's come to fear? *Being With Beau* is a Southern Gothic novella where young love, ghostly encounters, and the oppressive heat of the Alabama countryside create a beautifully eerie coming-of-age tale. Step into a world where the shadows are just as important as the light, and where every secret has a price.
