Sarah Laker's memory is alive. Alive with the dead. Experiences of strange phenomena are the norm within 28-year-old Sarah's farmhouse. Armed with borrowed equipment, she sets out to prove the place is haunted. A haunting is easier to accept than the possibility that she's losing her sanity, just like her father, but with each passing day her grip on reality as she knows it slips a little further away. Sarah's old college friends, Duncan and Luke, provide her with support and relief from the never-ending worry. Bound together through grief at the age of eighteen, the prospect of becoming more than friends has always lingered in the background. Will friendship and the potential for romance be enough to set Sarah's feet on solid ground, or will she slide into madness like those who've gone before her? Set in the tranquil countryside of East Anglia during the final year of the twentieth century, some of these events are fictional and some are based in reality. The author leaves it up to you to wade into the haunting echoes of the world beyond our knowledge and decide which is which.
