Sophie's life has not only been of isolation, but of fear.  Not from her father necessarily, but of the curse that he said follows them.  Papa tells her of ghosts in the fields, and how he needed to protect their secret.  Now she is living with her grandparents, scared and confused.  She befriends her step cousin Stephanie, and is home schooled by her Uncle Lonny.  Her aunt Elise's new husband.There is so much more to this story, I don't want to give many more details.  Just know this, I loved how this story is told.  It is told in past and present, with a couple POV changes. I was always kept in the story, and the author would brilliantly end the chapters with me wanting more.  The story is told from Sophie's point of view in the present and past, and her father's in the past as well.  We learn so much through his eyes, just as much as Sophie's.  Sophie's fear is the curse, will she get over it for her to move with her life.  You will enjoy reading for that answer. Not for "younger" teens.
