The Lost Year

Gracie Lockhart is a nineteen year old librarian with a knack for getting into things she shouldn't.

After living under the abusive care and watch of the Grim Reaper, Death, since she turned thirteen, Gracie decides she wants no more to be involved with God's personal foreman. Her resolve to get away from him is strengthened when she is attacked violently in an alleyway one night by a strange man who claims to know something Gracie has been after for years- What happened when she was seventeen.

Although that was her graduation year, she remembers nothing of it. Nobody does- Frankly, the only reason she's not in school right now is because she has the certificate to prove that she completed high school.

Gracie knows she doesn't just have short term memory loss- A year does not fit into the definition of "short term". She also knows something must have happened, and it must have been something big, big enough that it would dislodge her entire known world if she found out.

So, naturally, she's out to find out just what the deal is.

She's got many obstacles along the path to recovering what was lost- A ghost long dead from her past, friendships and family that are enough to drive her crazy, and her most formidable opponent, sworn to her side, Death.
