    About this ebook

    Mary-Anne lives in a small village in the year 1894.Her father has been killed in a barn-raising,and now
    her mother works to support the small farm they live on.
    One day,she sees a notice on the tack board in the village,and secretly applies for a post for both herself
    and her mother.
    When she gets a favorable reply,she is bursting with excitement.She is to be a governess to Mr.Batterman's daughter.Mary-Anne
    has experience helping these poor souls,her own sister was viewed with skepticism by many.Katie was born not being able to talk,yet somehow,both sisters forged a strong communication system.
    But will momma agree?;she worries,racing home through a path she knows well.
    But the light of day is fading,and no woman or man should be out in these woods after dark,not with the ever-present threat of the gypsies...

    Finally,they arrive.But things begin to go wrong,and a tangled sequence of events finds Mary-Anne guarding secrets.There is something sinister here,Mary-Anne can feel it.
    She meets a child unlike any other,and together,they form a strange alliance.Besides,Mary-Anne needs all the help she can get,for a jealous housekeeper is determined to make her life miserable as well...
