From the back cover:

“Slip between the shadows of the Forest City’s Ghostly Past”

“Just beneath the glossy surface of Rockford’s rich heritage lies a dark history of tragedy.  The city’s troubled and turbulent past left scars that still resonate today.  Geraldine Bourbon’s final struggle still echoes throughout the farm house where her estranged husband pursued her with a pistol from room to room, before gently laying her corpse on the bed.  The sobs of society darling Carrie Spafford still keep vigil over the family plot of the cemetery where she sowed the heartbreak of her twilight years.  From the vengeance of Chief Big Thunder to the Witch of McGregor Road, author Kathi Kresol shares teh legends and lore of Rockford’s haunted history.”
