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!

Her 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.

The journey

leads 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.
