Back Cover: When a young girl named Amy has to give up her summer theater work in order to visit a maiden aunt in a decrepit manor in Georgia, she finds herself in the middle of a real drama involving a ghost, in Sandra H. Skoda's Forever Dark.

After Amy arrives, the beautiful and ghostly Catherine appears seeking help that only Amy can give: forestalling the fate of "darkness forever." Complicating matters, Amy's Aunt Sophia denies the local legends of hidden Civil War treasure and Catherine's love affair with a Union soldier. Amy's search is further hindered by the ridicule of a handsome local boy named Yancy.

A vivid and fast-paced story, narrated by a gifted writer and filled with well-drawn characters.
