Softcover. Condition: Good. In a small town called Dundee on the coast of Maine, an old woman named Hannah Gray begins her story: "Somebody said "true love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about, and few have seen." I've seen both, and I don't know how to tell you which is worse." Hannah has decided, finally, to leave a record of the passionate and anguished long-ago summer in Dundee when she met Conary Crocker, the town bad boy and the love of her life. First love often brings astonishment, joy, and frustration, but theirs is somehow also mixed with something frightening. Hannah discovers, as Conary and the others in the town already suspected, that a very unquiet and angry spirit inhabits the house that Hannah's stepmother has rented for the summer. 269 pages.
