❝The most rebellious people in society are the dreamers; for their minds are capable of creating incredibly beautiful and impossible concoctions. And those single thoughts alone have the ability to reconstruct anything.❞ Alice is nearing graduation and the stress is pushing her to breaking point. So, in a spontaneous decision to run away, she finds herself in the circus tent at a carnival two towns away.

In Franklin, strange happenings abound. Over the past few years, five men have disappeared in the course of their stay in town. To the dismay of crime junkies, however, these missing men have nothing in common whatsoever other than the fact that they all stayed in an inn-the sole inn in Franklin-during their doomed visit. Of the inn and Franklin, people say it is haunted, and maybe for the best. So what happens when crime reporter Stevie and photojournalist Andy decide to dig in deeper? Is the place really haunted, or is there more to it than what meets the eye? © 2020 itsnobodyx

Twenty-two year old Grace McCaffrey is humiliated when she can't find a job after graduating college and has to move back in with her parents. She always assumed she'd do something big with her life-create change or do something that matters-not work at the Banner Market as a cashier. Soon, Grace gets roped into being a chaperone for a high school backpacking trip with her ex-boyfriend, Miles Dalby. However, she quickly learns these students are part of a mentorship program for troubled youth. As she tries to get them to open up, Grace starts to doubt herself. How can she make a difference in the world if she can't even help these students? Or is her mom right and sometimes it's the little things that can make all the difference?
