This is another highly satisfying story from the author of Growing Up In Ghooli, Good Night Elizabeth, Warren, and Tiffany - The Girl On The Beach. Mike Edwards is a successful writer who buys an old French plantation house. It's been badly neglected and that's where his problems begin. He encounters a woman named Adele who once lived in and disappeared from the very same house. The mystery is, she disappeared in 1865 and it is now 2005, so Adele has been presumed dead for 140 years. Mike then has problems concluding his latest story because someone is continually trying to kill him by various methods. It's a race to see who will reach their objective first, and the odds are not in his favour.

This is a story of a boy growing up in a remote community isolated from the world. His sister dominates his early life as they drift from one exciting situation to another, attempting to do dangerous things. She threatens to have him buried in the goat yard if he dies while trying to accomplish them, but his fear of God is greater than his fear of dying. It's full of fun and daring as they struggle to grow up and Warren becomes obsessed with trying to accomplish a daring feat that could well have him in the goat yard should he fail. The family are forced to move to the city and Warren's world comes crashing down. He rebels at this change in his life until he meets a girl who captivates him with her beauty. Although their meeting is brief she lifts his spirit until they lose contact with each other leaving him wondering if fate will allow him to find her again or if she is lost to him forever.

He encourages her to visit her Royal Grandparents in Argentina to try to solve the long standing dispute between them and her ostracized mother. Tiffany later develops a problem illness and the fight to help her brings complications.
