Synopsis

Can Sharon learn the secret of the ghost who haunts The Pillars? Sharon Aldrich, forced to sell her old family home, The Pillars, after the death of her parents, moves to New Orleans. Two years later she finds herself back at The Pillars as governess to the young daughter of the new owner, Craig Beaumont. Sharon soon learns that the Beaumonts want her services for another reason: The Pillars is haunted—by the ghost of Sharon's mother. And the Beaumonts believe that Sharon is the only one who can appease the restless spirit. Can Sharon reach her mother's spirit—and end the unearthly visitations? Or will the horror that has gripped the lovely old house destroy it?
