Since she was a little girl, Melinda Gordon could talk to
the dead: "earthbound spirits" as her grandmother called
them. Melinda came to understand that the spirits are
trapped, and in need. She listens, tries to understand what
keeps them from crossing over, and helps them find what they
need to be free. It's not easy, but with time and patience
her gift allows her to come to bring those spirits to peace.
The sound of a mournful lullaby has been haunting Melinda in
her sleep, the song of a ghost who doesn't seem ready or
willing to accept her help. Knowing that earthbound spirits
are often confused and troubled, Melinda feels that with
time she will make a connection. But there is no time; the
melodic tapestry that the ghostly singer is weaving with her
words — meant to comfort a child — has become a trap,
lulling the young listeners into such a deep sleep that no
one can ever awaken them. It takes one child, then another
and another, until all across the town children are drawn in
by the gentle song, their lives slowly slipping away. Even
Melinda, with her knowledge of the spirit world, finds
herself being pulled into the beautiful snare, where she
nearly loses herself. Only then does Melinda begin to worry
that this is a spirit so troubled, so heartsick, that it may
be beyond her help.
