Passed down through the generations of the Gable family is the ability to create the element of fire through sheer will and desire. The power has diluted bit by small bit as the years rolled by, and Gertrude Gable herself never felt she had much control over the fire in her.After a long life and a fairly peaceful death, she finds herself a ghost trapped in the confines of her hometown of Eversburg. In the strange environs of the Ghost World, she struggles to understand her new form and purpose along with the other souls who haunt the town.Compounding her uncertain fate is the fact that the fire is still a part of her. Her ability to regulate her gift is as vague as when she was living, and she now has a host of other issues beyond her grasp. She doesn't have command over how and when she can move objects in the living world. She can't interact with her granddaughter Reese to assist her in managing the fire gene that she has inherited. Most importantly, she doesn't have the power to dissuade her former husband Merle from his growing affection for the town harlot.

Once upon a time, someone in your family knew why all the strange occurrences and coincidences are so prevalent.Some stories are still whispered from Grandmother to Granddaughter. Tales of how a Great Aunt could find children lost in the woods at the edge of town. Rumors of an ancestor who could heal others with a touch of their hands. Suspicions as to why there are only daughters born to the family line, and why sisters are always born seven years apart to the day.But someone in some far away time didn't have to guess why these things happen in the Swavely family. They were there - in the beginning - when the Girl fled from her People, when the Swavelys rambled across an ocean, and when their paths collided in the woods on the Hill. Their meeting taught the Girl the complexities of love, and their union changed the course of the Swavely women for generations.
