Book Description
Louisa Moore, a wealthy middle-aged widow, sold her home in Mobile, AL, and purchased Seymour Plantation in Spanish Fort, on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. She was told the house was haunted and that no family had spent more than two months in the house during the past 15 years. After moving into the house, she began to hear strange noises, to find furniture moved, and to catch quick glimpses of a man inside her house. One night she woke up to see the silhouette of a man standing over her. Not one time did her security alarm go off; the man never came through her doors or windows. Louisa began to take the ghost rumors seriously and decided to have a face-to-face encounter with her ghost. Her fearless investigations revealed hidden secrets about Seymour Plantation as she solved the mystery surrounding her ghost. More than two chapters of the book are devoted to a discussion of the Battle of Mobile Bay and the surrender of Mobile.

Everyone that resides in the Plantation was questioned about poor little Billy Edwards death, but no one seemed too eager to talk about his death. The grounds keeper claimed there was a ghost in the attic that killed Billy Edwards with an ax. Billy's father Jim questioned Sam Tucker the grounds keeper about his son's death. Sam insisted a ghost killed his son. Jim replied, "Sam, What do you mean a ghost killed my son?" "If you're so hell bent on knowing the truth. I'll tell you how it all began. This story dates as far back as the Civil War. Ben Coates was a dashing Yankee General who was in love with one of the slave women named Lucy at the Summerville Plantation.

Well guess what they both were in the attic making passionate love when the owner Jack Bullard of the plantation came in on them and in a jealous rage killed them both with two shots to the head. Jack was in love with his slave Lucy and when he seen the two together he lost control.

Book Description
Hillery Louise Ashford, heiress of a plantation long tormented by the curse of a voodoo priestess, returns to the states after an extensive education in France during the political unrest of the opening days of America's Civil War. En route to her Louisiana home, Hillery meets and falls in love with Stuart Michaels, a renowned Washington artist. As the couple become inseparable, the realization that they are on opposing sides of a war that threatens to destroy a nation is daunting enough without the complications and additional obstacles that they will encounter. Hillery, however, is obliged to travel to her family home where she must go deeply into her ancestral lineage in order to put an end to the misery that the curse has cast upon its occupants. While she is spiritually guided by the gift of sight, to her astonishment she discovers that Stuart, too, shares an equally unusual sense of perception. The pair team up to solve the puzzle and free her only remaining family. Mariette, the ghost of Hillery's mother, is there to pave the way, but Hillery must take a fresh look at her political views if she intends to have a happy union with the man of her dreams. While she is dealing with these disturbing consequences Stuart is forced to go off to battle leaving Hillery to go to his aid as often as he comes to hers. The horrors of Libby Prison and the perils of the Underground Railroad factor into their new reality, and the couple despair of ever finding the nuptial bliss they each desire. The young lovers must face loss and tragedy, both together and on their own, in order to gain the future they seek.
