About this title

From the Author:

When I wrote this book,  I was a librarian in the children's room at the Laurel Public Library in Laurel, MD. A man brought in an exhibit of things he'd found while he was restoring an old house. The one that really caught my eye was the head of a ceramic doll. She had no hair, no eyes, and, of course, no body, but her face was beautiful. Her label said, "Antique Doll's head, manufactured in Germany around 1898, dug up in the rose garden." I wondered who buried the doll in the garden and why. My book is the answer to my question.
