What if the dead never leave us? Twelve-year old Jacob Mitchell recently lost his father to a roadside bomb in Iraq. While Jake and his mother struggle to carry on with their daily lives and keep their family together, strange things start to happen. Shadows fill the halls of their home and Jake soon begins to hear voices and see ghostly images of a girl in the attic windows of the house across the street. Mentally, Jake knows he's having trouble coping with the loss of his father, questioning his own sanity, and as if he doesn't have enough problems to overcome, the school bully and his cohorts have him pegged as an easy target. As the girl in the attic continues to appear and Jake learns of her tragic fate, he realizes death isn't necessarily the end...and the dead aren't always willing to rest in peace. Through this marvelously written tale of adventure, redemption, family relationships and inner strength, Jake must solve the mystery of a ghost and overcome his inner and outer demons. Will he succeed in time to save his own soul?
