Lyla is just seventeen when one moment changes her life forever. Now she is spending her senior year married, pregnant and lonely. Her husband is working at his grandfather's fruit market to support his new family instead of going off to college. During a difficult day, an Irish exchange student, Rowena, comes to her rescue and they soon become fast friends.

One of Rowena's favorite things to do is tell stories of her family's haunted castle back home in Ireland whose ghost knows how to please a woman. While Patrick and his younger brother, Matthew roll their eyes in disbelief, Lyla sits enthralled. Dreaming of what it would be like to meet a three-hundred-year-old ghost?

For the next twenty years, Patrick promises Lyla he will take her to Ireland to visit Rowena and see the castle. But when he becomes ill and passes away, Lyla is left to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Two years later their daughter, Katie, is getting married in the ballroom of Rowena's castle. Deciding to go over early to spend time with her friend, a thought occurs to her, what if while there she was able to solve the mystery of how the ghost really died?

The moment her hand touches the castle walls, Lyla's world begins to shift. Is she losing her mind? Or is it possible she really is seeing the three-hundred-year-old ghost who looks just like her deceased husband? Are their lives somehow intertwined?

Natalie Erdman "Beautiful story
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s a beautiful story of timeless love. I’m an avid reader, and love when a good book captures my attention, and makes the world slip away. This book did just that. I just received another book by this author called “Johnny’s Gift”. I can’t wait to read it. I hope Marilyn Hart writes many more books!"
