August 1, 1998
Haunted by memories of her mother's tragic drowning and her resulting childhood emotional breakdown, Jesse Copeland, ex-Peace Corps volunteer and current mountain-rescue worker, has her fragile existence threatened by both the unexpected return of the man she considers responsible for her mother's death and the startling appearance of a mesmerizing Regency-era ghost with an agenda of his own. Once again, Krinard (Twice a Hero, LJ 5/15/97) uses her lyrical prose to weave a fascinating tale of reincarnation and redemption, as she links a trio of characters from the 18th century to those in the present, with romantic, dangerous, and terrifying results. A master of atmosphere and description, Krinard lives in Concord, CA.
