Long Journey Home

Allison Chaney is a successful thirty-something accountant in mid-town Manhattan, with a stable, if not terribly exciting life. The kind of life that no one writes home about. Until the night she discovers the Crescent Moon Cafe, where the theme changes depending on what night of the week it is, and the poetry open-mike night is bring-your-own-garbage. But the simple act of going to a new strange cafe has an even more bizarre effect on her than bringing out her inner poet. Because with the poetry comes the memory of a time in her childhood when she'd had a not-entirely-imaginary playmate and the ability to see and hear across time. On the heels of this new adventure and awakening, Allison inherits a turn-of the-century mansion on the Hudson River. As she tries to deal with the house and its eccentric former owner, the mystery only deepens. Can she find out why her great-uncle vanished in that house? Can she come to grips with her re-awakened gift? Can she navigate it all and find her way home?"
