Summary:

Recovering from a difficult childbirth, a woman caring for her newborn alone while her husband travels for work suffers a psychological unraveling that causes her to see the ghost of famed children's book author Margaret Wise Brown.

After giving birth to her first child, Megan is raising her newborn alone while her husband travels for work. Physically exhausted and mentally drained, she is also wracked with guilt over her unfinished dissertation-- a thesis on mid-century children's literature. Enter a new upstairs neighbor: the ghost of quixotic children's book writer Margaret Wise Brown, whose existence no one else will acknowledge. It seems Margaret has unfinished business with her former lover, once-famous socialite and actress Michael Strange, and is determined to draw Megan into the fray. -- adapted from jacket
