Taking up where the author left off in THE HOUSE ON TRADD
STREET, Realtor Melanie Middleton is renovating her
historic house that was bequeathed to her by Nevin
Vanderhorst. Her relationship with handsome author Jack
Trenholm is definitely on the off switch since he arranged
a meeting between Melanie and her mother, Ginnette Prioleau
Middleton, who deserted her only child over thirty years
ago and left Melanie with her alcoholic career-military
father. Ginnette wants to purchase the Prioleau family
mansion, the same house she sold when her mother died, and
she wants Melanie to act as her realtor. When Melanie
refuses, Ginnette plays dirty pool by calling her
daughter's boss and requesting Melanie's services.
Actually, Ginnette has had some psychic premonitions and is
extremely worried about Melanie.
Another person is interested in the Prioleau house on
Legare Street, reporter Rebecca Wells. She contacts
Melanie for some background information on Ginnette, which
Melanie refuses to talk to her about. This doesn't stop
the woman from dogging Melanie and trying to talk with
her. Rebecca has a real interest in the house, also, but
plays things close to her chest.
Both Melanie and Ginnette have psychic abilities, and they
sense an evil about their old home. The spirit that
protected Melanie as a child once again is called upon to
protect her from a malevolent spirit that has been waiting
decades for revenge.
THE GIRL ON LEGARE STREET is beautifully written with
interesting, intelligent characters and a touch of the
paranormal. The story is dark, oft times scary, and to
the reader that did not read the Tradd Street book, very
confusing. At long last, though, Melanie finds out why
her mother left, and things might look better for her and
Jack, even though Jack has a big surprise awaiting him.
Acclaimed author Karen White returns with the sequel to
the national bestseller The House on Tradd
Street.
Melanie ahas grown accustomed to
renovating old houses, but she never imagined she'd have to
renovate her own life to include her estranged mother.
Ginnette Prioleau Middleton left Charleston thirty-five
years ago. She's returned wanting to protect the daughter
she's never really known after receiving an ominous
premonition.
Melanie never wanted to see her mother
again, but with some prodding from her partner, Jack
Trenholm, she agrees-and begins to rebuild their
relationship. Together Melanie and Ginnette buy back their
old home. With their combined psychic abilities they expect
to unearth some ghosts. But what they find is a vengeful
dark spirit whose strength has been growing for decades. It
will take unearthing long buried secrets to beat this demon
and save what's left of Melanie's family...
