I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. The title is fitting. Abby had moved to the Boston area with her fiance. She didn't know anyone. She hadn't found a job yet. Her fiance wanted to control and be the center of attention in her world. She just didn't see that.She went on a tour of historical homes by herself one day. The last one she went to was beautiful, but when she touched the door frame, she had a vision. An older couple in clothing from times past. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she could feel the emotion. The home tour guide, Ned, saw her pale and swaying and jumped to her rescue. He sat her down, made her tea, actually cared about her and what she had to tell him about her vision. Instead of treating her like a nutcase, he encouraged her to research the history of the house to see what she could find out about it and its previous occupants.The visions continue in other houses and cemeteries. As she learns more, she finds out about relatives she never knew about. She also figures out a few things about her fiance.This book is specialized in that it's geared more towards genealogy and war history in the Concord-Lexington area.I have done genealogy for many years, so to me this book was a pleasant refresher course. I liked Abby's personality. I am glad she finally figured out what her fiance was really like. The paranormal twist was also good.
