Shortly after her grandmother’s passing, Sirabelle is notified that she is the beneficiary of her family’s rambling old house. There’s just one catch--it’s located in the sleepy little town of Tulip, Georgia. She decides that a trip to her family’s hometown is just the distraction she needs. Sirabelle takes a leave of absence from her hectic job and packs her bags. Soon after she arrives, she begins receiving unusual and cryptic messages from beyond. She finds she must discover the answers to a myriad of questions. Who is reaching out to her from beyond the grave? Why do they need her help, and what is the mystery surrounding the town’s old historical church? In Tulip, all is not what it seems and “don’t ask, don’t tell” appears to be the rule of order. But that won’t suffice for Sirabelle. She vows to get honest answers and figure out how she and her family are involved. When she unravels the evil and horrible truth, she and the town of Tulip will never be the same again.

This was a good little short story. A modern story where someone is like everyone expect for one exception (having the "sight"). It was good to finally read something different from most of the stuff I've been reading recently. I'd recommend this book to anyone.
I think this book could have been better written, as there were several "side" plots/stories going on simultaneously that I would've liked to known more about, but it was pretty good for a short story!!!
