Ever wonder how a family can fall apart with just a single sentence? Kaya does. She wonders why her dad just didn't come home one day and her mom just says they'll all see him again, just not on Earth. She wonders why everyone is sad now that Uncle Hammish went with Dad. Kaya never understood death. The boy in the lake said he drowned, but then how come she can still talk to him? She talks to Francis quite often, despite his ghostly appearance. She never understood death because she can see ghosts. They're drawn to her. Simon always heard voices. not because he was insane, but because he could read minds. Charlie and Xavier could summon demons and angels. They can't control them, though. The rest of the family is wacky and unpridictable, giving the Vansloten family a very unique reputation.
