Publisher's Summary

Twins Nelly and Niles Collins didn’t have many financial advantages growing up. Their widowed mother had to work two jobs to support them. The mystery of the Lady in the Purple Hat brought the kids in this neighborhood in Southwest Detroit together in the summer of 1962.

Who was The Lady in the Purple Hat? Spoiler Alert.... A ghost.

The kids formed a club to catch the ghost lady, and by the end of the summer, every one of their lives were enriched by the bonds they formed. How did Thurmond the dog play a role in this endeavor? If you like stories of a kinder time, where kids had to be home when the streetlights came on, and there was no need to lock your doors, then The Lady in the Purple Hat is for you.
