Ophelia Harrison used to live in a small house in the Georgia countryside until one night in November 1922, when a cruel act took her home and her father -- the same night Ophie learned she can see ghosts. Now Ophie and her mother live in Pittsburgh with relatives they barely know. In the hopes of earning enough money to get their own place, Mama has gotten Ophie a job as a maid in the same old manor house where she works.

Daffodil Manor is haunted by memories and prejudices of the past—and, as Ophie discovers, ghosts as well. Ghosts who have their own loves and hatreds and desires, ghosts who have wronged others and ghosts who have themselves been wronged. And as Ophie forms a friendship with one spirit whose life ended suddenly and unjustly, she wonders if she might be able to help—even as she comes to realize that Daffodil Manor may hold more secrets than she bargained for.

Ophie’s Ghosts is a wonderous mix of adventure, history, social justice, family story, and coming-of-age tale of a young girl learning responsibility as she figures out where she belongs.
