Daughters of the lake / Wendy Webb.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The ghosts of the past come calling in a spellbinding heart-stopper from the "Queen of the Northern Gothic."

After the end of her marriage, Kate Granger has retreated to her parents' home on Lake Superior to pull herself together--only to discover the body of a murdered woman washed into the shallows. Tucked in the folds of the woman's curiously vintage gown is an infant, as cold and at peace as its mother. No one can identify the woman. Except for Kate. She's seen her before. In her dreams...

One hundred years ago, a love story ended in tragedy, its mysteries left unsolved. It's time for the lake to give up its secrets. As each mystery unravels, it pulls Kate deeper into the eddy of a haunting folktale that has been handed down in whispers over generations. Now, it's Kate's turn to listen.

As the drowned woman reaches out from the grave, Kate reaches back. They must come together, if only in dreams, to right the sinister wrongs of the past.

Publishers Weekly Review

Kate Granger, the heroine of this well-crafted supernatural thriller from Webb (The Vanishing), retreats to her childhood home on Lake Superior after discovering that her husband has been unfaithful. When Kate's father finds the body of a woman holding an infant's corpse on the shore of the lake, Kate is upset because she realizes she has been dreaming for weeks about this unknown woman. As she continues to dream about the dead woman, Kate experiences the events in her dreams as if they were happening to her. In her search for the woman's identity, Kate unearths a photo of her picnicking with her great-grandparents more than a hundred years before. From newspaper articles of that period, Kate learns the woman is Addie Cassatt, who mysteriously disappeared. Chapters divulging Addie's tragic love story alternate with events in Kate's personal life as she seeks to determine why her life is somehow related to Addie's and why Addie surfaced from the past. Well-delineated characters and a suspenseful plot make this a winner. Agent: Jennifer Weltz, Jean Naggar Literary. (Nov.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Kirkus Book Review

A body washed up on the shore of Lake Superior moves a family to rewrite its 100-year history in Webb's (The Vanishing, 2014, etc.) new novel, set equally in each era.Lake Superior, which has always been known for its legends, one day reveals a new mystery when an unidentified body clutching an equally dead baby washes up on the shore near Kate Granger's family home. Kate, who's come to town only recently in an attempt to recover from a breakup with her philandering husband, is captivated by the young woman, who's been appearing to her in dreams. Police know the family too well to suspect Kate was involved in the crime, and she's allowed to travel within the area to stay with her cousin Simon at the Harrison's House, a stately former family home the unerringly nice Simon inherited and that he and his partner, Jonathan, have revamped into a BB. Interspersed with chapters about Kate's search for the identity of the body is the story of Great Bay in 1889 and the early life of Addie Cassatt and her friend Jess Stewart. Addie's story sounds almost like a fable, from her birth in a lake that seems to love her to her first meeting with Jess, a boy who seems fated to be always by her side. Things grow more complicated when Jess goes away to college and begins to wonder about life beyond his small town and to ask whether Addie can be the woman he needs to help him achieve his professional dreams. As Addie learns about the limits of love, Kate learns that love may return when she's introduced to Nick, a police officer willing to invest as much time in identifying the body as Kate is. With the support of Simon and Nick, Kate tries to learn from her dreams and believe the impossible, even if it means connecting the body to a centuries-old mystery entangled with Kate and Simon's own family history.Simultaneously melancholy and sweet at its core.
