THE UPSTAIRS HOUSE by Julia Fine 

There's a madwoman upstairs, and only Megan Weiler can see her - the ghost of quixotic children's book writer Margaret Wise Brown--author of the beloved classic Goodnight Moon--whose existence no one else will acknowledge. It seems Margaret has unfinished business with her former lover, the once-famous socialite and actress Michael Strange, and is determined to draw Megan into the fray.
