Since his death, a 12-year old boy is stuck trapped in a former South Carolina Plantation with no way to move on. It’s the being stuck here that’s hard.” (6)

So I try my best to carry on like the other lost souls around here, wishing for the day when we all might find a way to move on. Ever since then, I haven’t been able to leave. Those memories are gone, and I say good riddance. I don’t know exactly how he was hurt or what my part in it was, though. “All I know for sure is that a boy was hurt, and it was my fault. And with a malevolent spirit lurking in the shadows and painful memories buried deep, and for good reason, the boy wonders if he’ll ever find his way home or be stuck at Hollow Pines forever. And if these kids could understand the truth about Hollow Pines, maybe they could help him uncover the dark secrets of his past and help him find a way to finally move on. These visitors are around his age, and they seem to understand more than others that the plantation is not just spooky or eerie, it’s a sad place where the unspeakable happened again and again.

But when visitors from the living world arrive for the first time in a long while, the boy feels a spark of hope. Things never change much for the lost souls at Hollow Pines and time is strange when you’re dead. When a twelve-year-old boy dies mysteriously at the deserted Hollow Pines Plantation, he finds himself “stuck” with no idea how long he’s been there or how to move on. From the author of The Whispers comes a heartrending tale of friendship, hard-won truths, and the healing power of forgiveness.
