Opis

The House of David A tale of supernatural love and vengeance. Celia Wayne owns the Wayne House in St. Louis' charming Central West End. The only survivor of a devastating house fire when she was 19, Celia rebuilt the mansion as a self-sustaining bed and breakfast. For marketing purposes, Celia floats the legend of the mysterious David Brinkman Wayne, the rogue whose spirit haunts the house. But when David starts actually appearing to her, questions arise: Is this a real ghost, or is Celia's mind so powerful that she is doing the hocus pocus without even knowing it? And if he is real, why is he here, and what does he want? When new friends Brandy, Laura, and Jessica visit Wayne House for lunch, their experience demands a re-examination of all they have ever believed. Celia's friendship with these women grows as she enlists ghostly help and guidance for everything from Brandy's failing health to publicity for the mansion. When she welcomes a writer from a popular psychology magazine who wants to debunk the ghost story, she counts on David to pitch in. But David's abilities are not inexhaustible. Little does she realize that he is readying himself for a final battle with his own lifelong nemesis-and the battlefield may be her home. It may take all of the powers of friendship, loyalty, and love to take on the evil that haunts the ghost. Jana Meehan writes fiction and non-fiction in St. Louis, Missouri. The House of David is her first novel.
