| Plot Summary of The Ghostly Screams of Stormhaven |
|---|
"Elizabeth Stevens aquired a position with the Earl of Chesham at Stormhaven. She knew she was lucky to get this job and she was immediately drawn to the beautiful manor house. She was even more drawn to the dark and brooding master of Stormhaven, Derek Vanderworth. When she met his tiny four-year-old daughter, Amy, she became determined to discover why the little girl stopped speaking after the death of her mother the year before. As she became more involved in the family's affairs, she realized what a dangerous and possibly deadly position she had put herself in. What happened the night of Desiree's death? But, more importantly, what was Derek hiding on the fourth floor of the house?"
Laura J. Miller, Resident Scholar
