The Splendor Falls, by Rosemary Clement-Moore (Delacorte Press, 2009)

After a nasty injury ends her career, teen ballerina Sylvie Davis is sent to recuperate with a cousin in Alabama, where she can try to mend both body and spirit. What she discovers is a rich family history she knew nothing about, an area plagued with ghosts, centuries-old secrets, and not one, but two guys who want to get close to her. Is Sylvie losing her mind, or is she coming into a power she never dreamed existed? Her cousin is willing to assume the former, but Sylvie’s pretty sure she’s sane, sober, and clean. To get to the heart of the matter, she’ll need to develop a connection to the land, solve a decades-old mystery, and trust the sexy Rhys, a Welsh student who clearly knows more than he lets on. No matter what, the balance of power in the area will never be the same again. An atmospheric, even Gothic deviation from her Maggie Quinn series, The Splendor Falls is another excellent offering from Clement-Moore, infusing Southern folklore and history with a captivating, supernatural tone.
