Newly orphaned Peggy Grahame is caught off-guard when she first arrives at her family’s ancestral estate. Her eccentric uncle Enos drives away her only new acquaintance, Pat, a handsome British scholar, then leaves Peggy to fend for herself. But she is not alone. The house is full of mysteries—and ghosts. Soon Peggy becomes involved with the spirits of her own Colonial ancestors and witnesses the unfolding of a centuries-old romance against a backdrop of spies and intrigue and of battles plotted and foiled. History has never been so exciting—especially because the ghosts are leading Peggy to a romance of her own!
MY REVIEW
I really liked this book. I have been telling myself I need to break out of my bubble on what I read and try new types of books. I'm glad I did and read this book because it's defiantly different than what I usually read. Peggy's father dies and she is sent to live with his brother(Uncle Enos) in a house that has been passed down in her family since before the Revolutionary War. She soon meets the ghosts of some of her ancestors and learns all about the past and what happened in her family and their house during the Revolutionary War and how they found their true loves. Peggy eventually learns her uncle's secret and finds her own true love. This book came out in 1958(I will admit I never read books that were written before 1980) but it is a good book for that time. I will check into reading other books(I defiantly need to read the classics from even before that time) like it!
