After five years, (from being haunted in the book "Run to my River," ) she began to have reoccurring nightmares about a sad little girl looking out a window of a small old abandoned house. She is forced to deal with the problem or suffer endless haunting dreams. Her research and therapy eventually led her to reveal family secrets. The first book in the Riverbook Series, "Powhantuwa's River," tells of the hardships, loves, and tragedies of an Early American Indian woman and her tribe. Powhantuwa, the protagonist was the mother of Shaahatuck, the protagonist in the second book, "Run to my River." Shaahatuck dies without peace in her soul.

During a visit to that area, Shannon Fitzpatrick experiences that haunting, (Run to my River) but over time, ignores it. Later, moving to that area, she is constantly haunted by Shaahatuck, even seeing haunting eyes through a mist. She is forced to either deal with the ghost, move out of the area, or suffer forever.
