David Burnett writes novels that will melt your heart. I have read most of his books and there hasn't been one yet that hasn't left me smiling--although during the story I have been known to reach for a tissue or two. They are all clean love stories that depict life which are not always sugar--there is always something that will pull at your heart strings.
This is the story of a man who lost his beloved wife in childbirth. He brought up his daughter as a single parent and did a really good job! He could never quite get over his wife dying and never dated until he met a woman he worked with at the college. Two opposites if ever there were any!
His daughter was about to get married and it was hitting him that he would be totally alone in their big house. His friend said something that hurt him badly and they stopped seeing each other.
The friend showed up at the wedding and his family somehow gets them together--you are going to love how they did it.
There is a poem "Ghosts of Love" which is shown throughout this book. Fair warning--it is written in a way that you may think is a publication error--but it isn't!
Will he be able to let the ghost of his daughter's Mother go and find a life with another? Read this book and find out!!
NEW RELEASE...Richard McNeil has loved three women in his life.
He feels abandoned by all three.
His wife passed away in childbirth, leaving him alone, a single father with an infant daughter. His daughter, Emily, now twenty years old, is leaving, marrying and moving away. Two months ago, Kim, his almost-fiancé, the only woman he has dated in over twenty years, left as they broke off their relationship.
On the weekend of Emily’s wedding, he is haunted by his memories. The day his wife passed away plays in his mind like a video. Stories of Emily’s childhood leave him both smiling and wanting to cry. And worst of all, his recollections of meeting, dating, and falling in love with Kim almost seem real, as if he can stretch out his hand and touch her. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot understand what went wrong between the two of them, and, although he yearns for a reconciliation, he cannot dismiss the cruel things she said to him.
His memories haunt him like ghosts, and he knows he will not be happy until they leave him be. He wants his future to be like his past, and he suspects, that it is he who holds on to his memories, not they to him. How can Richard release them? Perhaps, he finally can lay his wife to rest. Surely, he can mumble the words to give Emily away. But releasing Kim might mean giving up all hope of ever being together. How can he do that?
If you enjoy heartwarming stories with true-to-life behaviors, complicated relationships, and a less-than-certain outcome, then you will love Ghosts of Love. One Click this book today!
