Book Details
GENRE: Historical Fantasy
BLURB:
She’s a 1940s ghost whisperer.
Burdened with her empathic gift, Elizabeth Reilly wants to be free of it and fit in with normal
people. Nevertheless, when the spirit of an old man asks for her help, she travels across the
country to help him return home.
He’s the son of a ghost.
Gio Clemente is still angry with his father who abandoned him as a child. To help the father
pass on, Elizabeth must persuade Gio to let go of his anger. Though he resents her intrusion,
they are both stunned to find themselves fighting a profound attraction.
Elizabeth can accept his headstrong brand of love, but can Gio accept her gift—and believe in
her?
The Passenger, a 1940s ghost story set in the California wine country, tells a tale of family
connections, life-changing choices, and love—lost and found.
Excerpt One:
When her husband was on his way to her to say goodbye, she’d sweated through the cries of
soldiers falling into the mud around her and the deafening noise of battle.
Don’t go there, Elizabeth. You couldn’t help him.
She’d known the only help she could provide was to help him pass on in peace.
Elizabeth had expected Patrick’s ghost to visit her. For weeks, she braved the early spring chill
to await his arrival. Bundled in layers, she waited on the beach for him. Their special place.
When he finally came, he met her there. Patrick sat next to her on the blanket he’d given her as
a birthday present when they were younger. The one with the purple daffodils. When she
thought of his final goodbye, she thought of the daffodils she’d stared down at while he
talked—as if the color of the flowers were the most important detail of the day.
Yet the broken dead man who sat beside her was.
Patrick’s once handsome face wore sadness like a caul. He’d wished she would remember him
as the whole and healthy man who she clung to and kissed before he shipped off to war. When
she pictured the delicate purple flowers imprinted on the fabric, she overlooked the bloodied
gash in his side where he’d taken the bullet.
