Ruined:A Novel

Ruined: a novel by Paula Morris is a ghost story that takes place in New Orleans post
Katrina. I was enriched with the culture and history of New Orleans besides the fact that it is a great ghost story.
Rebecca Brown finds herself in New Orleans after her father takes a job in China. Living in New York City all her life, she is in culture shock. To top it off she is living with a family/friend she has never met plus her mother was killed when she was a little girl so she feels so alone.
However one night she follows a group of teens from her school into the local cemetary across the street from her house and discovers a girl name Lizette who befriends her. As the story unfolds we learn that Lizette is a ghost and spends her days haunting the cemetary. What suspense and intrigue. Put this ghost story on your list to read soon!
