Now, no one remembers her hardworking life and her grand dreams&#8211;but she remembers. She remembers everything. Emma Rose is still here, one hundred years after her death &#8230; and she doesn&#8217;t plan on leaving.<\/p>\n<p>But when a determined hunter arrives with instructions to &#8220;clean&#8221; Emma Rose out of her haunt, the stately Lambry mansion, death suddenly isn&#8217;t the worst fate imaginable. Emma Rose refuses to be hounded from the only place she&#8217;s ever found peace, even if it means waging a war on the living and the dead.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrical and haunting, this spellbinding American ghost story alternates between Emma Rose&#8217;s life and afterlife as the past and present become entwined in a compelling tale of loss, love and tenacity over a century in the making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Signing: Thursday, October 19th, 2017, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Mylene Dressler, joins us with her latest novel.
