From the Inside Flap:

The Past... Her innocence betrayed, her body battered, her life destroyed, five-year-old Lisette lay dying. But hers was a will of uncommon strength for one so young, and even as she slipped into unconsciousness, she vowed revenge on a cruel world—even if she had to wait for an eternity. The Present... Five-year-old Melissa loved her family’s new home, especially the big basement to play in—and her new friend Lisette. Missy’s parents said Lisette was imaginary, but Missy knew that she was very real. Missy could see and hear and talk to her. But Lisette made Missy do scary things, dirty things she didn’t want to do, and when Missy told her to leave, Lisette wouldn’t go away. Lisette had waited years for a child whose soul she could steal, and now nothing—not even death – could stand in her way
