Like with Johnny Doesn't Drink Champagne, I finished this book a while back, but only just thought to add it to Goodreads.
I did enjoy this book a lot. It was engaging enough to keep me interested in it and the idea was a unique one. I really like books where things happen in dreams, so this book was fairly good in that respect. One thing that did kind of strike me as strange was how little time it took to solve the mystery... I'm a huge fan of happy endings, so ho...more

In Evangeline's Miracle, Evangeline Lacroix becomes consumed by the plight of a mysterious apparition. As she crusades to change the unfortunate circumstances that marked this spirit's life, Evangeline's own life spirals out of control. She has a tragedy to fix, a slew of Mommy issues to get over, and a marriage to save. Yeah, she's got a lot going on.

They begin to communicate through dreams, and Evie helps change the course of history. Meanwhile, Evie’s husband leaves her because she refuses to bear his children. Evie continues to string together her past in desperate hope to secure her place in the world and reconcile with her...more
I think Mrs. Buie-Collard fell in love with a story and chose to write it down before it faded away. The best part of a story is its characters, and Lisa obviously spent a lot of time and effort discovering and falling in love with the characters in this book. It is a very personal story that not only offers an insight into the lives of her characters but into her own life and experiences. It is an easy book to read, though not all of the content is light-hearted. This book deals with the fears...more
Whatever you might think about ghosts, this story is unlike any ghost story that you might have read so far,for sure it was the case for me. I found great pleasure reading this kind of a story. In some ways it reminded me on Zynga's game Hidden Chronicles which I like to play sometimes.
Evangeline Lacroix is the main protagonist of the story. She is an author still unpublished with doubts on herself. She leads an estranged relationship to her mother, also her husband Christian is unhappy with th...more

This was an enjoyable book with a very creative premise. I thought Ms. Buie-Collard did a nice job bringing to life a historical time/setting. The unfolding of the mystery in the first half of the book was action-packed and fast-paced, while the second-half of the book focused on the main character's own emotional journey. I would recommend this book to a friend!
I loved this book. Could not put it down & did not want it to end!!
What a story! Past and present, all mingled together in the name of love. True love, that's all it matters.
I give this book 3.5 stars. The plot is very interesting, but it seemed to drag on. All of the family members had the same name, which I thought was weird. Why not be original? Keeping family names are fine, but each generation seemed to have the same names. This story had a good premise, but it was not exquisite writing for me.

My writing day consists of different things, though I am working on streamlining my day. I try to write at least three hours a day, really write. Not research, not online writing as in keeping up with my presence on the internet. I'm a mother, wife, sister, and daughter, have waited tables, been a dental assistant, teacher, journalist, gardener and architectural administrative assistant. I’ve trav...more
