The book starts off in the middle of action. A battle is
going on and Dr. Bradley Taylor, a doctor during the war is treating the
injured. Although he is a Confederate, he upholds his oath and treats men on
both sides. He gets shot in the back and
his friend drags him into the woods where he dies. Several valuables are taken
from him. As he lays dying he has a vision of a woman with a grave marker in
her hands. We then switch to present
day. Jennifer Beasley works for a magazine in New York. She is being sent to
Florida to interview several people for a story. She insists on doing the story
only if she gets two weeks of vacation afterwards. While in Florida, she stops
at an antique shop to purchase a gift for her father’s birthday. She finds a
unique marker from the civil war period.
She is told the seller’s son found it at a Civil War graveyard in
Louisiana. She starts hearing voices and seeing things. Once she is back in New
York, her cousin who was raised by her dad brings a friend who makes several
predictions about the marker. Jennifer has another vision where she meets the
ghost of Dr. Bradley Taylor. This spurs
her on to Louisiana to the gravesite where she meets Dr. Bradley’s ghost again.
She interviews him and gets information she needs to help him. She learns he is
in a Union graveyard when he is a Confederate soldier. She calls on all of her
friends, makes some new ones, and even finds true love and danger as she tries
to keep her promise to help Dr. Bradley.
This was full of so much mystery. She uncovers, lies, betrayal, murder
as the book progresses. I read the book in less than three hours, it was that
good. Highly recommended to anyone who
loves thrillers, suspense, and mysteries.
Thank you, Sandra! So glad you enjoyed the book. Good luck with your novel. Diana
