Restless Spirit -
“A heart-touching and gentle novel”
By Midwest Book Review http://www.midwestbookreview.com
Restless Spirit is the story of a widow grief-stricken by the all-too-early death of her young husband. At first she agrees to move in with her mother, but as her depression deepens, she feels the uncomfortably close eyes of her family watching her, even as she struggles against despair. Then, a real estate ad in the morning paper catches her attention: she discovers an old farm hidden in a rural river valley area, over sixty miles away from her family. It is here in the valley's quiet peace that she must confront the pain of her own loss head-on - and unexpectedly discovers a connection with the warmth and love she thought were lost to her forever. A heart-touching and gentle novel.
