Hoofbeats on the High Road Sadie Blackburn

Desperate memories have long whispered through the shadowed halls of the old Connecticut inn, passed down through many generations of the Hightower family. Now the youngest Hightower, Elizabeth, finds herself beneath its roof, staying with her cold and distant aunt while her father is on a summer lecture tour. Ghostly visitations that at first seem to be no more than dreams take on a real and frightening clarity, as the line between sleeping and waking begins to blur. Through the haunting of a frightened seventeen-year-old girl the truth is revealed that a terrible wrong was once enacted within the walls of the inn, and it falls to Elizabeth to help a lost and lonely spirit find her rest after two hundred desperate years of waiting. Whether giving the ghost what she asks for will cost Elizabeth her own life remains to be seen. Is she prepared to take the risk?
