About Above Haldis Notch

A young mother in the rural Northeast Kingdom of Vermont must stop a spirit who threatens more than their lives. Jenna inherited her grandmother's ability to communicate with those who have recently "passed on," but when she receives an urgent cry for help, she discovers her talents exceed her grandmother's. Jenna can reach the next plane of existence, where her mother's spirit is trapped with others and growing weak, possibly dying. Jenna must free them. Physical death is tragic, but the loss of a soul would be unbearable. Two strange deaths in her small community remind Jenna of a past suicide. Her neighbor Jake was an angry, violent man, the scourge of the community, who ended his own life while vowing vengeance on the town for shunning him. Jenna suspects Jake is responsible for trapping the spirits. Somehow he found a way to carry his venom into death. Jake confirms Jenna's suspicions by possessing her husband's body and threatening their child. Jake is even more malicious in death than when he was alive, and his relentless attacks keep Jenna off-balance and on the defensive. Jake always had a special passion for her, and now she's the only one who can stop him. To succeed, she must learn more about Jake, but understanding his motives draws her into his trap, and if Jenna falls victim, every soul in Haldis Notch will suffer the ultimate retaliation for the grudges they held in life.
