Every town has its history, and every town has its secrets. Carla Heine learned Sonoma's secrets and its haunted history before that information passed from living memory and died away with the last of Sonoma's Victorian generation. The Sonoma Ghosts series contains first-hand accounts of Sonoma's secret past, and information gathered from the Victorians who ran the isolated town with fists of iron in kid-skin gloves from the 1870s until the 1970s. For over a decade, from behind heavy silver tea sets in the salons of Sonoma's most powerful citizens, Carla Heine listened to their stories every Sunday afternoon at four o'clock high tea. It is said that houses are not haunted, but that people are haunted. As you read this collection of Sonoma's haunted past, it will be up to you to decide if that is true or not. You will discover, as Carla Heine discovered, that not only a house or a person can be haunted, but an entire town can be haunted.
