The Eastwood Archives is not a place to be crying your heart out after a heartbreak.
No, definitely not when the said public library houses endless rumors of a weird Library Ghost that appears at midnight.
But when Ebony Suarez, a graduating college student, found herself drawn to the mystery rather than be afraid by the tales, she soon discovered that there's more to the story than the townsfolk led her to believe. In fact, the Library Ghost seems more than willing to assist her with more than just her assignments!
With wounds reopening, words unraveling, and wonderful things happening all at once-will Ebony be able to heal and open her heart once more?

Echoes Of The Unwritten
The library stood at the edge of town - silent, timeless, and heavy with the scent of forgotten stories. Julie had owned it all her life, guarding its secrets as carefully as the books she loved. No one ever entered her private room. The door was always locked... until the day Ana came to return a few novels. The library was quiet - too quiet - when she noticed it. The door. Slightly open. Curiosity whispered louder than caution. She pushed it open, and the hinges groaned like they hadn't moved in years. Inside, the air felt different - colder. The faint scent of ink and dust lingered like a memory that didn't want to fade. And on the far wall... shelves upon shelves of handwritten manuscripts. Her grandmother's writing. Dozens of books that no one had ever seen. Ana smiled, heart racing with wonder. She didn't know why these stories had been hidden - or what waited inside them. She just knew she had to take them home. That night, as the wind brushed against her window and the pages of one book fluttered open on their own... she finally understood - some stories aren't meant to be read. They're meant to wake up.Complete
