"The crumbling Victorian had been abandoned long before Jane ever discovered it as a child. It was painted a sweet violet color and the gingerbread trim was blue and green but inside was shambles--broken glass a dollhouse ravaged by mice bedsheets twisted as though someone had left in a hurry. Still the house became a hideaway whenever Jane needed to escape her volatile mother. Twenty years later now a Harvard archivist she returns home to Maine following the dissolution of her marriage and is horrified to find the Victorian is barely recognizable. A rich lady from Beacon Hill has gutted it and in its place stands a glossy white mansion straight out of a shelter magazine. But the home's new owner is unhappy. Her young son claims to have been speaking to the ghost of a child and she keeps finding marbles on the floor. Troubled that she might have done something to anger the spirit world a concept Jane dismisses as daffy the wealthy woman hires her to research the land. The story Jane uncovers--of husbands lost at sea wives mourning along the cliffs historical artifacts stolen and sold lovers secreted away and at the center of it all a tale of colonialism--is as old as Maine itself."--
