Books with author Virginia O'Brian

It all began when she was very small, that awful morning she awoke beneath a bush with no memory of a past life. Where had she come from? How had she gotten here? The orphanage kindly took her in; and she grew up there, alone and unwanted. Her memory, however, seemed lost forever.One regretful day a sinister couple presented a court order, claiming she was their long-lost child, and whisked her away to an eerie, haunted mansion. In that forbidding house, she faced peril from a hidden, very human, adversary, while the anguish wailing of lost babies echoed throughout the dark halls. Real, live babies, or merely ethereal ghosts? She could only wonder -- which was more dangerous? Ghosts of past babies? The evil man who claimed to be her birth father? Or the menacing entity that inhabited the dark and ominous basement below, perhaps awaiting its next victim? Did it really matter? For her, there was no escape, no way to prevent what was about to happen. Against her will, she soon would find herself catapulted into a new and forbidding world she had never known existed.
