Set in Ohio--Sethe, a former slave, was sent to prison for killing her baby girl Beloved. Sethe intended to kill all of her children that night, to save them from a worse fate, but was only able to kill the two year old girl. The ghost of Beloved haunted Sethe's house until a man called Paul D. exorcised it. Then Beloved showed up in the body of a young white girl who came to live in the house with Sethe and her daughter Denver. This is a haunting story in more than one way...haunting and horrifying.
