Description
A mysterious singing in the garden of the house next door sets a young girl delving into the past to discover its meaning and its source.
"There was no real reason to fear the small modern house that had replaced the old Fairmead mansion, but the rumors about the strange child who sang in the overgrown garden seemed to have some chilling basis in reality when tenant after tenant moved away. And for 16 year-old Melissa Brown, living next door with no family but a preoccupied novelist father, an empty Fairmead meant a lonely life. When Helen, a young widow and her baby, Bobson, arrived, Melissa found them so companionable that she determined to keep them there even if it meant coping with a ghost. But slowly the three of them were drawn into a struggle from the past that had chilling implications for the present."
