The Book of Susan: A Novel Melanie K. Hutsell

A realistic and terrifying deep dive into one woman's unlikely transfiguration

Meet Dr. Susan Huffman: wife to chancery court judge Samuel Ellison, mother to adorable Ian, and college professor on-track for tenure. She's a woman who has always lived by her mind, with a plan and a purpose. But then new-in-town Lorraine Davis accepts an invitation to Susan and Samuel's home, and the visions begin.

The Book of Susan is the spare and sympathetic recounting of a journey--from derailment, to diagnosis, to the discovery of a lifetime.
