The Upstairs House

More about the book

"Ravaged and sore from giving birth to her first child, Megan is raising her newborn largely alone while her husband travels for work. Physically exhausted and mentally drained, she's also racked with guilt over her unfinished dissertation-a thesis on mid-century children's literature. Enter a new upstairs neighbor: long-dead quixotic children' book writer Margaret Wise Brown-author of the beloved classic Goodnight Moon-whose existence no one else will acknowledge. Margaret has unfinished business with her former lover, the once-famous socialite and actress Michael Strange, and is determined to draw Megan into the fray. As Michael joins the haunting, Megan finds herself caught in the wake of their power struggle-and until she can find a way to quiet these spirits, she and her newborn daughter are in terrible danger."--book jacket
