Liz is helping her grandmother pack and clean the old house that has been in the family for years. She awakens suddenly in the middle of the night when she hears a voice. A blue light highlights a woman in an old-fashioned dress that seems to be beckoning her to follow. When Liz travels back to log-cabin days she meets her ancestors, and on one visit is able to provide important help for a sick baby. This gentle story would appeal to readers interested in history, time travel, and benevolent ghosts.
