You believe the moment you read the title that this book is going to be a fun and delightful read -- I did, and I wasn't disappointed.
Ms. Nelson provides her heroine, Avery Willow, with some very persistent companions that only she can see and talk to. Ech one of them has an agenda and they’re not too particular about how they achieve their aims. To add spice to their mix, the ghosts' goals conflict with each others.
Thanks to their initial machinations, when Avery’s neighbor decides to welcome her to the area, he discovers she’s in need of his medical help.
More than neighborly interest prompts Riley Donovan to make a welcome call on his new neighbour. He wants to know why so many woman call at the house. But when he knocks on Avery’s door his life takes an unexpected turn and he finds himself having to make life changing decisions.
Through the humour there is a serious thread which is unfolded with consummate skill by the author.
This charming and well told story will not only leaving you feeling satisfied and content with the ending, but because the author’s daughter suffers from juvenile diabetes, and she is donating the royalties from the sale of this book to benefit diabetes research for a cure. So, when you buy this book you will help Ms. Nelson with her dream too.
