Emerson thinks that she is crazy. She can see people from
the past- apparitions of Southern belles and 1920's jazz musicians who once
inhabited the buildings of her Southern hometown. Haunted to the point of
insanity, she has tried everything to make the images go away, and as a last
resort her brother has employed the handsome Michael Weaver from the organization, Hourglass, to help her.
With his experience and knowledge, he may be able to help her see her life as a
continuous pattern-the past, the present and the future. Only she begins to
wonder if Michael is the answer or the problem? Is Hourglass a benign institute
for the study of time or something more sinister? If she is getting better, why
is she still being haunted? This was a very engaging, highly-readable, original
addition to the YA paranormal genre. The cliffhanger ending may have been a
little too steep for my liking, but I can't wait for the sequel. MS/HS-ADVISABLE.
