When 12 year old Felicia is given a valuable antique doll, she can’t believe that her late grandmother found it hidden in an estate sale desk and kept the doll’s origin a closely guarded secret. And if that’s not enough to write home about, it’s haunted by a very cranky ghost who claims the doll belongs to her little sister, Lottie, who she last saw on the deck of Titanic as it sank into the icy sea.
Being an only child whose divorced parents barely speak, Felicia is familiar with loss and loneliness. So when the ghost reveals that she doesn't know what happened to her little sister, Felicia is compelled to help. But all she has to go on is the receipt from a desk sold more than a decade ago. Can she find Lottie with just this one clue? Or will the ruthless antique dealer who handled the sale force her to give back the precious doll before she can discover Lottie's fate?
Felicia Darby and the Doll in the Ice Green Dress is GHOST WHISPERER meets UNDER THE EGG. This middle grade mystery, set in the 1970s, is complete at 43,000 words.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and worked for 20 years in advertising and marketing. I’ve spent the past thirteen years as a stay at home mom and, since my son has grown too independent to need me (except when he’s hungry), I'm pursuing my dream of writing something other than marketing brochures and facebook posts. I appreciate your time and hope you will find a compelling story and a solid voice in the enclosed pages.
