Description
In the spring of 1867, at a makeshift graveyard in Mississippi, a work crew begins the somber task of unearthing the remains of Civil War soldiers. Found in the skeletal hand of one unidentified soldier is a US belt buckle. Believed to be a Union soldier, he is laid to rest in a Federal cemetery and honored with a Memorial Star Marker mounted on a pole at his gravesite. THE MARKER disappears from the cemetery in 1952 and remains hidden for over 64 years. When found, it becomes a conduit between its current owner and the Unknown Soldier, who pleads that his story be told. The result of this supernatural encounter reveals a history of envy, hate, and murder. These revelations bring everyone connected to THE MARKER into great peril.

I wish I could literally take certain books, put them into peoples hands and make them start to read it. The Marker is one of those....A total page turning, historically rich, human to ghost connection story that kept me up waaay past my bedtime because I could not put it away.~ I hit the jackpot when I was granted my request to read this. Thank you Diana Savastano for getting this story from your imagination onto paper, it was absolutely fantastic.
