This is an emotional read. It begins with a creepy atmosphere in an old mansion with secrets and ghosts from the past. The twins are playing a game in 1925 of claiming Emily can communicate with the dead. Michael devises this scheme and Emily enjoys the attention. The story delves back in time to 1872 and buried secrets, but the twins game has some devastating consequences to families years later. It is a good read, but a bit strange and sometimes hard to get through.
