From a review by Phillip Nork: The book starts out in the 1600's when the Salem witch
trails were held. An older lady 'sees' a man fall to his death in her dreams.
This lady, Emily Hawkins, is put to death because the villagers think she is a
witch. Just before she hangs she gives a warning that she is not a witch but
that she can see the future and she tells the crowd that one person lives in
the neighborhood and from his line a child will be born who will bring
destruction beyond their worst imaging. A little girl thinks she knows who this
other person is and a crowd goes to his house and burns his house down with him
in it.
Forward to the 1980's and a thirty-something single lady
named Debra takes a summer job at a kid's camp in a small town called Rachael
Crossings and the fun begins. The only place left to rent is an old house, a
haunted house according to the locals, but no one tells Debra about it.
The story continues and Debra meets a man, but is he real?
In her thirty years of being alive Debra never met a man she could love but she
falls for this one. Maybe it's all a dream.
