A short story of love and suspense with a dash of the supernatural.
The reviewers said:
"This is a quick, sweet story. It's about a young couple who buys their first house, where the wife is visited by an old woman who used to own it. After that the wife starts dreaming about the family who lived there before. It's a ghost story but not in the horror genre-it's not scary. It is self-contained, unlike a lot of the freebie short stories out there that are teasers to get you to buy the novels. It's a 10 minute read that is well worth the time."
"
This is a very good mystery with a not-so-scary ghost and with living relatives of the ghost who are more worrisome than the ghost could ever be. I highly recommend this story to anyone who likes short stories. Its charm and setting make me want to read it again."
