The storyman came to the park every day to spin wondrous tales of the past, amazing fantasies that held the children in thrall. At least that was what Ryan thought they were-until his little sister, Stevie, disappeared into a mysterious trunk in the old man's attic. So begins an enchanting and sometimes-harrowing journey for Ryan and Cimmy as they go back in time to retrieve his sister and find themselves embroiled in the politics of an America they never knew existed. Racing against impending war, they find themselves battling king and clergy in a desperate attempt to rescue Stevie and return to their own world. But before they can find Stevie, they must find each other... and themselves.

Inherently liminal, often literally invisible, the female ghost has nevertheless appeared in all genres.

Ladies First takes a close look at this exciting phenomenon and shows how both on and off screen strong females have assumed larger roles in the industry.

The first woman to win the Hugo award (given annually by the World Science Fiction convention) and the Nebula award (given annually by the Science Fiction Writers of America), Anne McCaffrey has invented many worlds of science fiction that have made her work enormously popular.
