The Ghost Light of Alhambra Francie Klopotic

When Gemma Goodson discovers an abandoned theatre on the outskirts of town, she encounters the ghost of a man who has been waiting one hundred years for her return.***I'd like to think it was my obsession with the silent film era that led me home to Cut Rock, Georgia, the sleepy little town where I took my first steps so many years ago. My path wound back to the family home. My sister Lottie, the youngest and most vulnerable of the two of us, needed help around the house and companionship after the death of our mother. She never liked me as a person, much less a sibling, so it came as a surprise the day she reached out to me. As the oldest, I knew my place was to be by her side at her time of need. I packed my belongings, terminated my lease, and left Augusta for a new adventure. What would happen to me once I got back to my birthplace? I had no way of knowing. All I did know is that Fate always worked her magic in my life when I let Her. She never failed to fill me with the pregnant expectation of possibility and that expectation electrified me with excitement. Somehow, I knew there would be a bigger picture at play. There always was. And this time, that picture made itself crystal clear in the ghost town of Silver Screen.
