Left alone, a girl lived in an old house, until new neighbors arrived...

Jody woke up in the middle of the night, desperately fighting off a panic attack.
She was dreaming again about her parents, who had died a year ago in a car accident.
Jody had recently turned sixteen and was living in her parents' old house. The Garcia family had moved to New Jersey from Arkansas ten years earlier.
Given their small income, Jody's parents had bought an old house on the outskirts of town.
The building needed repair, but the Garcia family always put it off for later, hoping that things would go better and in their lives they'd finally have some cash.
