A sudden light / Garth Stein. - First Simon & Schuster hardcover edition. - New York, NY : Simon & Schuster, c2014. - 396 pages : genealogical table ; 24 cm

It's 1990, and Trevor Riddell and his father Jones arrive at the Riddell family estate at the northern edge of Seattle. Built by Trevor's great-great-grandfather, a ruthless timber baron, Riddell House and the surrounding forested acreage are at the crux of a family struggle. Jones and his unusual sister, Serena, want to develop the property and regain their lost fortunes, but Samuel, their father, is reluctant to leave the home where his wife died. Trevor, sometimes precocious and observant and other times dim, is visited by a persistent ghost who's intent on shining light on everyone's hidden motivations.
