YA
Sally Melford cannot understand what has happened to her--she seems to be lacking a body. Gradually she realizes she is a ghost observing her own family, seven years in the past, and must alter the past in order to save her life. The complex plot is absorbing, but equally interesting and frequently amusing are the family dynamics and the character sketches of four fascinatingly eccentric sisters.
