Plot Summary of Stardust of Yesterday
"Genevieve Buchanan inherited a castle with her very own ghost. At first the ghostly Kendrick tried to chase her away but soon changed his tact to wooing her. But what future can there be for the ghost of a murdered knight and a mortal? "
Louisa Brown, Resident Scholar

"When Genevive inherits a castle in England, she doesn't expect it to be haunted by a whole army of ghosts, all fiercely loyal to the ghost of a man who was unjustly killed and cursed to live in the castle for all eternity. After trying to scare her away and eventually coming to like having here there, Kendrick de Piaget starts to feel the full force of his curse- knowing that the one thing he wants more than anything else, Gen, he cannot have. It's not until a twist of fate intervenes that Kendrick and Gen both start to learn that somethings are worth waiting 700 years for. "
Meredith Griffin, Resident Scholar

"Genevieve Buchanan restores houses, and loves her job, but has a secret dream: to find her knight and castle. She has dreamed this since she was a small child. Living in the United States, she gets a call from an attorney about an inheritance--a magnifcent castle in England. From there things turn upside down as she finds her knight at last, Kendrick of Artane--though he has been dead six hundred years..."
Tina Loflin, Resident Scholar
