Penny is furious, and who can blame her? She has to spend Christmas break alone at the Black Butterfly, an old inn at the coldest, bleakest edge of America—the coast of Maine. This "vacation" is the brainchild of Penny's flaky mother, who's on the other side of the country hunting ghosts. Penny most definitely does not believe in spirits. Or love. Or family.

This time around, Shirley wanted to let loose with a page-turning coming-of-age romance mixed with ghosts and adventure. Shirley is the creator of the much visited storytelling website storybee.org. She lives in Amherst, Massachusetts.

The recollections of their mother's and father's, grandmother's and grandfather's combined with stories by historian Pierre Berton and Canadian canal historian, Robert Passfield bring fact and fiction together to bring light and life back to the quarry on the south shore of Manitoulin Island. This is the history of the short lived South Shore Quarry....
