There seem to be so many 'coming home' books which verge on sickly. This had tension which wasn't easily resolved. Initially I was annoyed about how long it took Joy to face facts but as the wider picture unfolded I could understand why. (There was a lot more involved than face value). This worked for me. What a pleasant surprise! This was a free ebook and my first book by this author. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the paranormal aspect was just the way I like it. Believable...if I believed in ghosts and hauntings (I don't, but I love the fantasy of it). This story was very well thought out and the writing flowed seamlessly. I appreciated how the author tied in all the loose ends and used subtle incidents/objects to play into the big picture. At times I wanted to smack Joy for her hyperactive guilt gland, but at the same time, If I had been in her shoes...hmmm... The relationship between the girls was touching, with very normal problems and feelings. This book teaches about love and forgiveness by example and the girls accept one another's imperfections. They could be angry with each other, yet remain secure in their loving bond. Joy eventually learns a very valuable lesson regarding "feelings" vs. "beliefs." That was an unexpected bonus that I appreciated. Things I enjoyed: -Jeff was hunkadorable and carried his emotional wounds with grace. -I'm a real sucker for a cozy, hometown feel. This had it in spades. -There were a couple of places where I actually developed goosebumps from the suspense. -The book painted clear visuals as the story progressed. -The plot kept me guessing. This is a keeper for me! ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Eighteen years is a long time to stay away from home. But when Joy Hudson left Kentucky, she was running from memories of one tragic night. Now family duties have forced her to return and make a new start in the town she thought she'd left behind forever. ...she must let go of the sorrow from the long-ago accident that killed her best friend. And Jeff Bradford, the teenager she's blamed for the accident and now the handsome doctor caring for her father...
Most of this book is about Joy trying to release the repressed memories of what happened right before and after her best friend died, and try to understand why she was unable to grieve for her friend in a healthier way. It's a good read and my type of romance: the kind with really no romancing. But great characters, very solid writing and an engaging story that kept me reading. The final hurdle between Joy and Jeff fell rather abruptly - if I were Jeff, I'd be wanting an explanation, but it was a small detail in an otherwise very believable story (or as believable as a ghost story can be).
