Author Description

Sixteen year old Sallie Songer moved from the nation's capital to the Moonshine Capital of the World; a rural Virginia county not celebrated for its monuments and memorials, but famously known for its history of brewing and hauling illegal liquor. Haunted by the thought of a less than epic existence in this new place with its old-timey sensibilities, Sallie is thrilled with her discovery of a diary penned in the late 1930's by a teenage girl who witnessed a murder in the forest near Sallie's home. When Sallie encounters the ghost of the killer described in the diary, she fears not just for her life but also her new-found spirit sighting ability. And as she grows more connected to her neighbor, Zeke - the Jeep driving, guitar playing, tattoo wearing, sweet talking son of a preacher man, Sallie finds her past, her present, and her future merging in ways she never could have dreamed.
