Summer break is supposed to be a time for kicking back, putting your feet up, and forgetting all about school and your goofball teachers, not for finding dead bodies and hunting ghosts. But that's exactly what the summer had in store for Clara and her friends. After moving into her family's old Southern plantation home, Clara discovers it holds more mysteries than just Big Mama's secret Pecan Sandies recipe.

Clara suspects that her home is haunted, but can she prove it? With the help of her best friend, Shannon, the two investigate the history of her old ancestral home and discover it holds a link to a horrific period in American history. Can she unravel the truth before her family unravels around her?
