Life is hard enough for Abby without a ghost. Her father, a soldier, is missing in action, and she and her mother have had to move in with relatives in rural New York State, far from her Florida home. Her cousin Chad and his friends seem to hate her, too. Then she sees the ghost of Felicia Stratton, a girl her own age who died many years before, waiting for her own father to come home from war. Is her appearance a warning? Abby must discover the ghost's secret before it's too late-and she'll need Chad's help.

Blending evocative period details with thrilling suspense, Brenda Seabrooke has crafted a satisfying mystery for fans of classic ghost stories and her own The Haunting of Holroyd Hill.
