A strange woman on her doorstep, secret letters and flickering lights lead Claire beyond her normal world into the paranormal world of time-warped visions, dark shadows and whispers in the attic.

Claire's Swenson's life at college is everything she expected and more: a new roommate, a boyfriend, a job, and now—a beautiful auburn-haired ghost on her front doorstep! Despite growing up near the town of Salem, Massachusetts, Claire's only interest in the paranormal has been the supernatural qualities of the crystals sold in her grandmother's gift shop. She is now reluctantly drawn into the spectral world of the lovely spirit who seems to be seeking her help. Claire's efforts to understand and lend aid to the troubled spirit, lead her to the coastal hometown of her ancestors and across unseen dimensions where she is reunited with her deceased great-grandparents and comes face-to-face with a malevolent shadow spirit who will stop at nothing to keep her from uncovering the truth.
