In the late 1800s, Frances eagerly followed the famous murder trial of Mary Stannard and finds an escape from the monotony of new motherhood -- but is her obsession entirely innocent? 125 years later, Abby has been adjusting to motherhood smoothly -- until recently. When she starts to question the house's history, she is given the diary of Frances Barnett. The more Abby learns, the more she wonders about a negative -- possibly supernatural -- influence in her house. And like Frances, Abby discovers that by trying to uncover another's secrets, she risks awakening some of her own.
