Billingsley, F.  (2011).  Chime.  New York, NY:  Dial Books.  361p.  ISBN 10:  0-8037-3552-9

Summary:  Because seventeen-year-old Briony Larkin has the Second Sight and can see spirits, she has been convinced by her stepmother that she is a witch and cannot tell a soul, not even her own father, or she will be hanged by the people in her village.  She believes that her powers have caused her twin sister’s brain damage as well as the death of her stepmother.  She tells herself that because she is a witch, she is not capable of feeling or caring about another person until handsomely perfect Eldric comes into her life and helps open her eyes to the truth about the secrets the spirit world holds.  This knowledge completely changes all she has believed about the Old Ones, her stepmother, and her fate as a witch.
