A story describing the love between a slave woman and a rich white man in the year 1858.

Matt Wilson is 13 years old. He has an intense interest in United States history, but he doesn't tell his friends because he doesn't want to be bullied the way he was when he was 11. When he attends a civil war reenatment with his family, an event where people dress up like it is the 1860s and act out pretend battles, Matt meets a kid who looks to be his age. The kid is dressed up as a Confederate soldier and seems shocked when Matt approaches him and tries to talk to him. Why? Because this soldier died 155 years ago... This is my attempt at writing a better version of the novel "Ghost Soldier" by Elaine Marie Alphin.

Melanie Hansen loved her younger sister, Carrie. But when Carrie moved to Lexington, Missouri, to restore an antebellum house and open it as an event venue, Melanie was pretty sure Baby Sister had lost her mind. And then Melanie's worst fear came true: Carrie died. Melanie ignored her broken heart for as long as she could, but when a letter arrives asking her to return to Stratton House - Carrie's house - Melanie has no choice but to leave all that she knows in Seattle and travel to Missouri. All Melanie wants to do is find a buyer for Stratton House and return to Seattle. But finding a buyer isn't easy with all of the restrictions her sister and the grumpy local historian, Zach Oakes, put on the sale of the house. Plus, local residents are convinced the place is haunted so offers are few and far between. Those that are made would destroy all of Carrie's restorations. Melanie cannot allow that. Homesick and drowning in grief, Melanie finds Zach's shoulders just right for leaning on. Then a business trip to Washington, D.C. leads to a whole lot more than leaning. Whoever said historians are dull sure hasn't spent time with Zach. But when tragedy strikes, Melanie must ask: is Celebration House her home?
