When Shall We Three Meet: A Ghost Light’s Tale

By Sarah A. Combs

 If death offered you one last curtain call, would you step into the spotlight?

Lydia Caldwell, high school senior and theatre kid, has rules: no romance, no friends, no impossible dreams. Head down. Focus on acting.

Then she dies onstage.

When her spirit is pulled through the portal of the theatre’s ghost light, Lydia lands in the Bowery Theatre of 1849 New York City, disguised as a living human. To move on, she must complete the ghost light’s task: perform one final time. Now, following the rules matters more than ever.

If only it were that easy.

At the Bowery, Lydia meets Copeland Doyle, a musician with a lopsided smile that honestly should be illegal, and Ida Rose Blair, an adventure-seeking socialite promoting women’s rights in a world determined to cage her. Soon, Lydia is breaking every rule: falling for Copeland, encouraging Ida Rose’s aspirations, and dodging a hostile ghost in a city bristling with xenophobia, nativism, and rival gangs.

As New York hurtles toward violence, Lydia must choose between the destiny waiting for her in the afterlife and the fragile, beautiful connections—and the unexpected romance—that make her yearn to stay.
