Summary:

Maud Flynn is "plain, clever, and bad," so it comes as a surprise when she's plucked from the Barbary Asylum for Female Orphans and adopted by the elderly Hawthorne sisters. Maud eagerly hopes to be pampered and cherished by the sisters, and life seems perfect -- until Maud learns of the role she has to play in the high-stakes "family business." Set in the early twentieth century, a drowned Maiden's Hair takes readers into the shadowy world of spiritualism as Maud must decide just how much she is willing to do for the sake of being loved.
