Delia tries to deny the reality of ghosts, but this turns out to be very difficult with this specter haunting her. This is until one determined ghost appears. After spending several years in New York, she believes she is free. She flees San Francisco to the other side of the American continent, hoping to gain some peace and control. Since the great earthquake rocked San Francisco in 1906, Delia has been haunted by a multitude of the dead clamoring for her help. This is because Delia has been gifted, although some would say cursed, with an ability to see across to the other side of life. However, a dark secret colors her life, for her most loyal companions are ghosts. To most people Delia Martin is a wealthy young woman leading the ideal life. The novel is set in 1915, in San Francisco with its genteel upper class and ambitious working class, and the excitement and expectations for the future brought about by the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
