Summary

In 1966, fresh out of college, a young VISTA volunteer arrived in Sunbury, Pennsylvania—assigned to live with a low-income family in a home sitting just feet from an old railroad track. It was meant to be a simple placement during training. Four days in the house, then back to the main site.

But the first night changed everything.

Waking fully alert, she felt a hand close around hers—steady, human, and unmistakably present. What should have been terrifying felt strangely welcoming… until the next morning, when a child quietly asked the question no one wanted spoken out loud: “Did anything happen to you in that room?”
