Changes

Eden Moore lives in the southern states of the U.S. with her Aunt Lulu and Uncle David. They took her in when she was a baby after the mysterious death of her mother. Nobody seems to want to talk to Eden about her past or the mysterious 'pine trees'. All she knows is that she's different. For as long as Eden can remember her nights have been invaded by bad dreams hinting of former lifetimes and a mysterious book. Odd things don't just happen at night though. Eden has always witnessed apparitions; her most constant companions since early childhood have been the ghostly three sisters who seem to mean her no harm, but their warnings are too cryptic to be understood. Matters are brought to a head when Eden's life becomes endangered. Will she solve the past's black hole before it completely destroys not only her, but also those she loves?

The characterisation is perfect. Eden comes over as a totally normal person – a curious small child, growing into a typically rebellious teen. She just happens to see dead people. Eden continues to do what those of her age would; the paranormal is just something that happens around her. Lulu is also completely credible as the aunt who wants to protect Eden with silence, a tactic that backfires drastically. As for Uncle David, he's just a bloke who married into the family and it's all a bit beyond him. He doesn't fully understand any of it, just wanting to do the best thing for everyone.
