White Horse by Erika T. Wurth
Kari James, an Urban Native, tries not to think about her childhood. After all, when Kari was just 2, her mother abandoned her, and when she was older, her best friend died of a drug overdose. Instead, Kari spends most of her time at her favorite dive bar, the White Horse, and cares for her father, who was permanently disabled in a car crash. She’s close to her cousin Debby, too, but Debby’s husband doesn’t approve of their friendship. He considers the aimless Kari a bad influence, though her wildest years are behind her. But when Kari starts seeing disturbing visions of her mother, coupled with visions of a horrifying creature, she’s forced to confront the past. As she delves deeper into what happened to her mom, and begins to come to terms with the loss of her friend, she finds herself moving cautiously toward a healthier, happier future.
