Midnight Star

An old family prophecy spoke of a hidden star, and now she's been found.Estella Flores Midnight is recently unemployed, on her own and broke. At the darkest point of her life, she discovers that her paternal grandmother is not only living, but that the woman has been searching for her-for years.If that wasn't shocking enough, Estella learns that she has three half-sisters as well, and they've all invited her to come and stay with them. With nothing to lose, she travels to the historic riverside village of Ames Crossing, Illinois.A loner by nature, Estella isn't completely comfortable with the Midnights and their generosity. She's barely arrived when she discovers a family wedding is days away, and at the reception Estella comes face to face with a man who seems oddly familiar. Chauncey Marquette is a dead ringer for his infamous ancestor Pierre-Michel Marquette.However, there's more to the Midnights than meets the eye. Estella can accept and even embrace her family's wise woman traditions, but unfortunately she has bigger problems. It seems that the past and the present are now running in circles. Dreams, d j vu, and waking visions begin to plague Estella which forces her in to looking for reasons as to why.Are the memories of a pair of star-crossed lovers from the 1840's somehow magickally influencing her actions? All Estella wanted was a chance to make a new life for herself-the past should stay buried where it belongs, but clearly the local ghosts have other ideas.
