Against the brutal, vivid backdrop of the American Civil War, acclaimed author Adele Griffin and acclaimed illustrator Lisa Brown have created a spellbinding mystery where the living cannot always be trusted and death is not always the end.
Jennie Covell’s life is the very picture of love and loss. First she is orphaned and forced to live at the mercy of her stingy, indifferent relatives. Then her fiancé falls on the battlefield, leaving her heartbroken and alone. Jennie struggles to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, but is haunted by a mysterious figure that refuses to let her bury the past. When Jennie forms an unlikely alliance with a spirit photographer, she begins to uncover secrets about the man she thought she loved. With her sanity on edge and her life in the balance, can Jennie expose the chilling truth before someone – or something – stops her?
Lisa Brown’s stunning illustrations of daguerreotypes, family portraits and clues, along with a troubling mystery and more than one meddling spirit, give this historical illustrated novel a Cold Mountain feel for its teen audience.
