The Ghost in the Garden has all of these and more, as young Jo Keaton desperately tries to save her beloved house from being demolished. I actually lived in this grand old house, and its footprint remains deep in the Thompson Woods on the campus of Southern Illinois University.
The story takes place in the summer of 1949 in a small Midwestern college town. It was an almost magical time and place in which to live, when life was so different than now. But the story also reaches back to a July night in 1858, when a tragedy occurred at the old Thompson house, one which affected all of the characters as well as the old house itself, and changed young Jo Keaton forever.ver menos
