The Ghost of Tillie Jean Cassaway - Paperback
by Ellen Harvey Showell (Author)
People said the ghost of a drowned girl roamed the hills. Was this the wild-looking child 11-year-old Hilary and her brother Willy glimpsed in the woods? If not, who could she be? A suspense-filled story where truth is hidden around the bend, in the morning mist or over the mountain.

She says, "To me, mountain dialect is not bad English--it's another kind of music to the ears."

She has a son and a granddaughter and lives in Arlington, Virginia, with her husband John.
