The selected title is The Guests on South Battery by Karen White.  

This novel set in historic Charlestown, S.C. combines the paranormal with history and romance.

Then, on her first day back, a young woman, Jayne Smith, walks into the office to discuss selling a house that she has just inherited from 

someone she doesn’t know. 
Family mysteries and old secrets soon begin to resurface.  

Dessert and beverages will be provided.  Registration is requested.
