From the Inside Flap

"Based on a real life ghost story ... Carmen DeSousa unveils the mystery of the haunting with a compelling tale of murder, betrayal, and resolution. ... Great story. A leisurely read with lots of emotional content. -- Sandy Penny, Founder of SweetMysteryBooks.com"

About the Author

Carmen DeSousa's stories overflow with Mystery, Suspense, a hint of Romance and Paranormal, and sometimes...tragedy. After all, what would a great story be without an emotional event setting the stage.  Although The Library (Where Life Checks Out) includes ghostly elements, her paranormal stories dance on the edge of make believe, in a genre referred to as magical realism. Carmen's hope is that as you read her supernatural stories, you'll wonder, "Hmmm...what if?"
