Liv and Autis Oakley, a young professional couple, have purchased their dream home on several wooded acres of Wadmalaw Island--one of the Sea Islands bordering Charleston, South Carolina. In short order they find slave graves from the Civil War-era on their land. Soon after, they realize that there are ghostly spirits in their furnished basement, and a demon appears in the form of a large black panther, which rages and ravages. Finally, they see the wraith-like lady who lives in the run-down old mansion back in the woods behind Liv's and Autis's dream home. All of these sinister elements are intertwined in Liv's family history: a history of which she was totally unaware. Liv's role in this family history is the catalyst activating the spirit elements on the property. Liv and Autis discover that finding their dream home was no accident. Liv and Autis--with the assistance of their large pointer, Bob, new-found friends, Carole "Bambi" Bamberg, a vivacious blonde southerner, and Sweetgrass Weaver, 90-year-old decendant of slaves--struggle to defeat the forces making their lovely home into a living prison. Peopled with the characters of distinct and compelling Southern flavor and set among the lovely live oaks, towering pines, and fecund swamp and salt marshes of the coastal islands of South Carolina, Wadmalaw is a contemporary ghost story with a satisfying and surprising ending. 9780982905401 0.00
