When Willie arrives in Indian Territory, she knows only one
thing: no one can find out who she really is. To escape a
home she doesn't belong in anymore, she assumes the name of
a former classmate and accepts a teaching job at the
Cherokee Female Seminary. Nothing prepares her for what she finds there. Her pupils
are the daughters of the Cherokee elite—educated and more
wealthy than she, and the school is cloaked in mystery. A
student drowned in the river last year, and the girls
whisper that she was killed by a jealous lover. Willie's
room is the very room the dead girl slept in. The students
say her spirit haunts it. Willie doesn't believe in ghosts, but when strange things
start happening at the school, she isn't sure anymore. She's
also not sure what to make of a boy from the nearby boys'
school who has taken an interest in her—his past is cloaked
in secrets. Soon, even she has to admit that the revenant
may be trying to tell her something. . . .
