Ever since before Mae can remember, she's felt unwanted, being passed from foster home to foster home with no lasting relationships, save for her last foster parent, Adam. But now she's in the tiny town of Autumn, California, stuck with a new home, new school, and the terrors of high school while trying to simultaneously deal with the ghosts of her past. However, a new, mysterious friend named Luke, makes Mae see things in a different light as she begins to learn a few things about life, death, and love.
Farah Maitland had always led an ordinary life in the quiet town of Winter River, Connecticut. She attended Miss Shannon's School for Girls, and her father ran the local hardware store. But everything changed when a tragic accident claimed the lives of her parents, who drowned after their car plunged into the icy river. Farah barely escaped with her life, but the near-death experience left her with a strange new ability: the power to see ghosts.
Unaware of her gift, Farah was shuffled through the foster care system, often labeled as "odd" for her habit of speaking to the seemingly empty air around her. After months of uncertainty and feeling out of place, she finally found herself placed with the Deetz family, bringing her back to the very home where her life had forever changed. Little did she know, returning to her childhood home would uncover secrets far beyond her imagination and awaken a connection to the world of the supernatural that she never knew existed.
