Giving Up the Ghost

Davia is afraid of many things, & everything about her elderly great-aunt Mari & her spooky-looking plantation home terrifies her. When she encounters Emilie, the tortured ghost of a well-to-do adolescent girl from the nineteenth century, she is even more frightened. Davia gradually begins to learn from Aunt Mari secrets about Emilie & about her own family's past—stories of premature endings & regrets. 

As Aunt Mari's health deteriorates, she & Davia become closer. Together, they hope to release Emilie's spirit from the mansion & the world of the living. Author Sheri Sinykin has written a provocative tale of a young girl who learns to accept uncertainty & to come to terms with her fears. Readers will be mesmerized by the intriguing supernatural mystery that lies at the heart of the story.
