Why is the ghost of a Confederate cavalry officer taking revenge on a prosperous and respected Eastern Kentucky family? Leah Bradley must learn what the ghost's cryptic curse means before he claims another victim among her relatives. Although distracted by doubts over love, career, and her place in the world, she starts a quest for a lost relation who can break the curse. Before Leah's quest is done, she will learn truths of herself and her family that will change her world forever. The Ghost of Pelfrey's Bend tells of characters from Thistledown, previously published at iUniverse.com, but can be read independently of it.
