When Starla and Jason Kingsley tire of the frenetic lifestyle they lead in Chicago, they decide to make a change. He's a corporate attorney and she's a college economics professor. Tired of dealing with acquisitions and mergers, Jason longs to set up his own shingle and practice regular law. With online classrooms, Starla can teach from anywhere. Together, they decide to move out of the city, to a place they can call home, a place where they can start a family.
When Starla first sees the hundred-year-old mansion on a lonely country road, she feels strangely attracted to the home. Locals warn them the house is haunted, but the rumors do not detract the Kingsleys. As they work to refurbish the long-neglected home, they find clues linking back to the original owners, Henry and Stephania Atherton. When Starla sees ghostly lights drifting through the fields, hears footsteps in the attic and forlorn cries at night, she begins to think that the rumors surrounding the house are true. It is said that Stephania haunts the place looking for her husband, Henry, who died in a tragic farming accident. . .or did he? And will the same end come for Jason Kingsley, as well?
The story is told from alternating viewpoints, those of Starla and Stephania, one hundred years apart. The trials that both women go through echo off one another, coming to a dramatic conclusion when Stephania’s spirit is finally set free of her beloved home.
