outstanding.

a thoroughly engrossing saga.

-- Midwest If Tipsy Collins learned one thing from her divorce, its that everyone in Charleston is a little crazy--even if theyre already dead.

Tipsy, a gifted artist, cannot ignore her nutty friends or her vindictive ex-husband, but as a lifelong reluctant clairvoyant, shes always avoided dead people.

When Tipsy and her three children move into the house on Bennett Street, she realizes some ghosts wont be ignored.

Till death do us part didnt pan out for Jane and Henry Mott, whove haunted the house for nearly a century.

Tipsys marriage was downright felicitous when compared to Jane and Henrys ill-fated union.

Jane believes Henry killed her and then himself, and Henry vehemently denies both accusations.

Unfortunately, neither phantom remembers that afternoon in 1923.

Tipsy doesnt know whether to side with Jane, who seems to be hiding something under her southern belle charm, or Henry, a mercurial creative genius.

Jane and Henry draw Tipsy into their conundrum, and she uncovers secrets long concealed under layers of good manners, broken promises and soupy Lowcountry air.

Living with ghosts, however, takes a toll on her health, and possibly even her sanity.

As she struggles to forge a new path for herself and her children, Tipsy has a chance to set Jane and Henry free, and release the ghosts of her own past.
