Hallie & Thomas — Elizabeth Pulford

Hallie's life sucks big time. Her best friend stole her boyfriend and then her parents have dragged her to live in a gothic looking house beside a swamp with birds as her nearest neighbour.
When she finds a mysterious photograph of a young soldier tucked in behind the wallpaper in her bedroom she becomes intrigued. Who was the soldier and why was the photo hidden? What secret does the house hold? Then there is Connor. The boy who is helping to restore the tangled mess of a garden.
Can Hallie find out what happened a century ago? Can she find some sort of happiness in this new life of hers?
