Is it dementia or ghosts? The old man next door has the answers, but is Janet ready to hear? Janet has lived a life of indifference expecting to suffer the same dementia that destroyed her mother and grandmother's lives. She is fifty, approaching the age when they were both hospitalized. When a mysterious inheritance finds her, she does the first truly impulsive thing in her life. She purchases a Victorian cottage on Mackinac Island in northern Michigan. Since she was a child, the house has stirred memories of a life she never lived. Leaving her friends behind, she spends the summer in the cottage and immediately begins to hear voices and lose track of things. The nightmare she had as a child returns. Other dreams take on an aspect of reality. She hears singing in the hayloft when no one is there, piano playing downstairs in the middle of the night. As the summer progresses, incidents ramp up. Things break. Furniture moves. Pictures fall and break. Still, Janet fears only the onset of dementia. The mysterious caretaker watches over her. Archie, a wealthy neighbor, ingratiates himself, challenging her resistance to love. He delivers someone she thought long dead who wastes no time in revealing the vast web of lies surrounding her life. He exposes a history of heartache, betrayal, love and loss. She learns why her mother was so hateful and why her grandfather so devoted. With the truth revealed, she must accept a new reality where past and present coexist, and love transcends time and space.
