| Plot Summary of Merilynn |
|---|
"Merilynn attended a cheerleading camp in high school and an adventure she would never forget. She was always capable of seeing into the future and casting spells. She went out late one night with a couple of friends to explore a lake that flooded the small town that once exsisted there. It was said that on special occasions you could witness the lights coming on at the bottom of the lake and see the stained glass window from the small town church. A sorority girl who drowned in that lake walked the streets of the underlake city and haunted the still active sorority house nearby. Merilynn has dreams that are trying to tell her something. The secret society within the sorority is not what it seems to be. "
Sherrie L. Jones, Resident Scholar
