Summary

"Struggling to deal with the pain of her parent's divorce, fifteen-year-old Sara is facing a world of unknowns and uncertainties. Unfortunately, the person she could always lean on when things got hard, her beloved grandmother Bibi jan, has become a mere echo of her former vibrant self. And so Sara retreats into the family business, hoping a summer working on her mom's latest home renovation project will provide a distraction from her fracturing world. But the house is not just a structure made of plaster and stone. It holds secrets that only her Bibi jan could have untangled. Secrets Sara is powerless to ignore as the dark truths of her family's history rise in ghostly apparitions -- and with them, the realization that as much as she wants to hold onto her old life, nothing will ever be the same." --Book jacket
