| Publisher Description: After a chance visit to a colonial burying ground in Cape Ann, Massachusetts, Janet Longworth, a young and struggling Boston writer, is convinced that she is being commanded by the bitter and unhappy spirit of Hephzibah Cleaveland - a woman buried there in 1789 - to tell the spirit's story. After meeting the phantom-like Hephzibah during a bone-chilling nighttime vigil in the old cemetery, and being taken back in time to the 1700s to witness Hephzibah's life, Janet is finally able to fulfil the command to write the spirit's true tale of heartbreak. With her manuscript in hand, Janet consults with a young Harvard history professor, Dr. Brian Carlisle, who - in a bizarre, synchronistic, and other-worldly twist of fate - has his own special interest in the case. Following supernatural imperative, Brian and Janet join forces in an attempt to fulfill long-dead Hephzibah's newest insistent wish... but one disaster and obstacle after another turn their lives upside down, as they race to satisfy the increasingly impatient and treacherous spirit's commands. Will Janet, with Brian's friendship and help, finally be able to bring eternal peace and happiness to Hephzibah? And will Janet EVER be free of demanding spirits from the colonial past? 'The Command' is inspired by the true and haunting events described in the Afterword of the novel. |
