Sixteen year old Janet Jones was bored and tired of her life in Oakwood Springs, Indiana. It seemed all her free time was taken up working at her mother’s beauty salon, and it seemed all her mother did was criticize her. She needed a friend, and found one in an unexpected quarter. She discovered that the old house she lived in was haunted! A young black girl from before the civil war had lived and died in the house, and was leaving Janet messages on her computer! Then a ghostly murder is committed in the front parlor. Janet began researching the history of the old house, and uncovered secrets buried for over a hundred years. Look for Ruth St John Thomas' other books on The Rawleigh Man Told Me, The Red Headed Girl, and her autobiography, The Book of Ruth.
