It is spring in North Carolina and Hope is planning new gardens for the yard of her century-old house. Teaching at the middle school, working part time in a bakery, and raising her daughter, Cori, leave little time for her to do research on two mysteries. But Hope and her resident ghost keep searching for clues to his hundred-year-old murder while she continues to look into the suspicious accident that took her husband's life. Hope has one more thing to worry about. Her friend and bakery owner, Edsel, is having the same dream every night where a ghost says she needs to speak to Hope. Will Hope, with help from Cori and Edsel, get closer to finding the answers they're looking for before a killer tries to silence them?
