When her family moves to Philadelphia's Society Hill neighborhood in 1866, Addy discovers that her new home holds dangerous secrets--including one connected to the North Carolina plantation she had escaped from only two years earlier. Includes a brief overview of the experiences of African Americans during Reconstruction, the period immediately following the Civil War.
SRP 2011 REVIEW: This book is from the American Girl series and features Addy. It is a great mystery because there is a ghostly mysterious woman who is only seen by Addy. Who is this woman and why does she know Addy? This book kept my interest to the very end.
