Wherever she looked, she could see only ashes, desolation ... and unfriendly faces. Unreasonably -- or was in unreasonably? -- her former neighbors seemed to blame her for the tragedy.

Jessica needed every ounce of courage and determination she possessed -- but when she saw her sister's ghost, even those qualities threatened to flee...

The title page of the re-issue of this book, entitled "Survivor of Darkness", Lancer Book No. 74-574, miscredits authorship to Sylvia Sharon, which some have said was yet another pseudonym for Dorothy Daniels. Most of the published Sylvia Sharon novels are pulp-type lesbian erotica.
