Eternity has a price . Harriet is tired of being old. There was a time when she commanded a room, was looked up to, even celebrated. But like so many women her age, she's been forced to fade into the background--overlooked . invisible. Now that her daughter has stashed her away at the Marryat Manor retirement home and early-stage dementia is blurring the world's edges, life has become a slow, inexorable march toward death. But when her only friend, Margaret, convinces her to participate in a ritual séance, as documented in the Victorian-era diary of the manor's original owner, things suddenly begin to change. Harriet feels spryer, sharper, even more hopeful.

Is it the last gasps of a senile old woman or is it something more . sinister? As Harriet seems to grow younger, she re-awakens physically, intellectually, even sexually. But those around her are declining at a rapid pace, and soon Harriet realizes that the source of her new lease on life is killing those closest to her. And the only way to save them is to make an unthinkable sacrifice. Younger is a chilling story about the horrors of aging and the allure of youth. It's a cautionary tale about the things we give up when we fail to embrace every stage of our all-too-short lives.
