  Eighty-eight-year-old Michael Doherty lies in an open coffin, listening to those who have come to pay their respects. Despite his dead son Cormac's protests, he's not yet ready to pass over. His granddaughter is the reason. Twenty-something Sarah has inexplicably abandoned her plans to settle in Spain and returned home deeply scarred by the Sandstone City, and he needs to know why.
  He is granted a special grace period of forty days. Forty days to discover and heal his granddaughter's trauma. Forty days to face his own past. Forty days to find peace before he must make his final departure.
  But Michael and Sarah are not alone. Ghosts populate the streets of Salamanca and they have a message for Sarah.
  Set between modern-day Belfast and the Spanish Civil War, The Sandstone City is a story about the decisions we make, the choices denied us, and how we navigate what's left.

  Frances Hodgson Burnett is one of the most beloved writers of children's books in history. Two of her novels - "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden" - regularly find themselves near the top of any list of favorite children's books and they have both been adapted to the stage and screen dozens of times. 
  In the first of these novels - "A Little Princess" tells the tale of young Sara Crewe, a young British girl who lives the life of a princess. Born to rich father who dotes on her, she enjoys all the trappings of wealth: carriages, fine clothing, servants...anything her heart desires. But when her father dies and his fortune dries up, Sara finds herself a penniless orphan, abused by her guardian and forced to work at menial jobs to scratch out an existence.   
  In the second book, "The Secret Garden," Burnett continues this theme with the story of Mary Lennox, another British girl who is orphaned as a child and sent to live with her moody, enigmatic uncle at his sprawling estate in England. Mary learns that her uncle is a widower and has shut up a beautiful garden on his estate because it was a favorite of his dead wife and the girl becomes obsessed with finding this mysterious place and exploring it herself. 
  These two books are both extraordinary novels of survival, friendship and the power of the human spirit and they are presented here in their original and unabridged format, just as it first appeared in print.
