READ FIRST CHAPTER >

Every old house has a history. This one isn’t finished telling its story.

When Amanda MacIntyre moves into her late aunt’s elegant Victorian home, she’s ready to embrace a quieter life in the heart of Charlottetown. With the scent of fresh paint and sunlight streaming through antique windows, the house feels like the perfect place to begin again. But when a friend’s child sees someone no one else can—and nightly cries disturb the stillness—Amanda begins to wonder if the past she’s inherited is more alive than she imagined.

What follows is a journey through whispered secrets, hidden grief, and a presence that refuses to be forgotten.

Ghost Baby is a quietly chilling, emotionally rich novel that explores the bonds between the living and the lost. With her signature blend of realism and the supernatural, Margaret Westlie invites readers to believe that love—and sorrow—can linger long after we think the story has ended.

FOR FANS OF…

For fans of poignant, slightly Gothic mysteries like The Ghost Orchid by Carol Goodman, where historical secrets and emotional healing take center stage.

IN MARGARET’S WORDS – THE BACKSTORY

“This book was born from the local legends of historic Charlottetown. I spent time walking near Government Pond and Rochford Square, letting the ‘vibe’ of those old houses spark an urban haunting story. I thought it would be a fun challenge to see the world through the eyes of a precocious toddler medium. It allowed me to explore intergenerational ghostly bonds in a way that was both poignant and a bit mischievous.”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“This story tugged at my heartstrings. The premise of a three-year-old being the only one able to see a crying ghost baby in a Victorian home is both chilling and moving. The surprising connection between the haunting and the investigators’ personal lives adds a wonderful layer of emotional depth.”
