Lisa Brown.
Photographs, scraps of memorabilia, and letters (some a little difficult to read) give this eerie, atmospheric mystery the look and feel of a young woman's scrapbook. The woman is Jennie; her fiancé Will dies in the Civil War. Will's brother Quinn, broken in spirit, survives. As Jennie attempts to get to the truth about Will's death, her pain is palpable.
