From the moment young Jennie arrives in Concord—the beautiful Concord, where Louisa Alcott, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and Emerson made their homes—her life changes. Employed as a nanny in this dreamy New England setting, Jennie soon finds a friend in a kind elderly woman named Cornelia, and takes an interest in Cornelia's charming grandson Nigel. But it all seems almost too exciting, almost too delightful to last.
The trouble begins late one night when Jennie sees a strange light in Cornelia's attic window. And before she knows it, Jennie finds herself caught up in a web of confusing and frightening events. What is the meaning of the light in the high, narrow attic? Is Nigel really who he appears to be? Author Susan Evans McCloud here delivers a fast-paced tale of romance and mystery that is sure to captivate and please her readers.
