Opis

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.
