Beschreibung

A financial crisis forces newly widowed Linda Rogers into making a life-changing decision. She puts her house up for sale, much to the objections of her teenage daughter, Amy, and agrees to become an innkeeper for a preCivil War mansion that has just been sold and is to become a bed-and-breakfast establishment. A first view of the mansion is not favorable; vines grow everywhere, and when Linda and Amy explore inside they are frightened into leaving by a mysterious noise. It is learned the townspeople believe the mansion is haunted by a ghost looking for his wife and daughter. Relying on her Christian beliefs, Linda doesnt believe in ghostsbut there is no logical explanation for the frequent noises and lights. A later discovery of a secret tunnel adds to Lindas anxiety. Did she make the right decision? Has she placed herself and Amy in danger?

Autor

At the age of nine, Phyllis began writing short stories in notebooks. She also entertained her younger brothers with stories and put on plays to entertain her family. When in sixth grade she wrote a play that was performed for her classmates.

In her senior year at Long Branch High School, Phyllis joined the journalism class and was chosen to be the coeditor of the school newspaper in the second semester. This gave her opportunities to write editorials after a semester of writing news as a reporter. The newspaper later won awards with the Columbia School of Journalism.

Although unable to attend a college to continue her education in journalism, she continued to write short stories and plays. A short story about her dog Scotty was published in Guideposts magazine in 1952. A Christmas play she wrote but did not publish was performed in her church.

As an army brat, Phyllis moved often. Books were her friends, and she enjoyed historical novels and cozy mysteries. She decided to try creating a cozy mystery when she toured a turn-of-the century house that had potential as a bed and breakfast. This is her first novel.

Phyllis is a Christian, having dedicated her life to the Lord Jesus. She wanted to write a book that showed that faith and trust help one overcome times of trouble. It is her hope that this type of book will appeal to many people, and that they will be entertained and inspired.
