Set in Lafayette, Louisiana, this fiction novel puts the reader
with the Foret family: Sherri, Justin, Bess and Karl. Sherri takes
an assignment to restore a modernized 120-year-old pecan plantation
manor house to its original appearance and replicated decor. Her
husband Justin realizes she is not aware of the history of the
property so he gives her the background before she gets started.
The teenage children, Bess and Karl, relate local reports and
folklore about the haunting of the estate by spirits and are eager
to go on a "ghost hunt." The proximity to New Orleans and the
historic Cajun communities provides Sherri with a host of antique
shops to visit in her search for authentic furnishings and, as a
bonus, she finds links to the original owners of the estate . What
unfolds is a vibrant description of the remarkable renovation and
some discoveries which add to the historical significance of the
estate. The project is not without a few mysterious findings and
answers to some unresolved questions from the author's first two
books: "Crossed Roads" and "Double Crossed Roads." The reader need
not have read the first two books to enjoy this novel.
