The Chapel Ghost

Secrets cling to the salt-soaked air of Maine, where the past haunts the living in whispers only the brave dare to hear. In The Chapel Ghost, ordinary objects-an old percolator dredged from the muck, a fire-scarred cauldron, a lace-trimmed apron glowing in moonlight-become doorways to other worlds, other lives.

Kate Becker's luminous collection invites you to walk the thin line between the seen and unseen, where memory and magic blur. Meet a stranded Lilliputian conjuring small wonders, a candy-maker's legacy smoldering with old betrayals, and mothers and daughters learning to decipher what remains unspoken. Each tale is steeped in foggy coastal mystery, the weight of generations, and the ghostly promise that even the most forgotten places still hold light.

"The Chapel Ghost"

A small child, dressed in white with a pale, yellow bow holding her blond hair in place at the nape, is nothing unusual, but Samuel and Tyler, experience otherwise. The young men share a brotherly bond formed during summers on the Maine coast and together discover a buried secret about their new acquaintance after spotting something near the back of the chapel one Sunday morning. Youthful curiosity overtakes them, and the two seek to learn the truth about a crime committed over a century before.

Pull up a chair, if you dare, and listen for the quiet voices calling you home.
