Description

Alice May Parker moves with her family to the sleepy town of Pacific Grove after her Mom dies, but little does she know the strange and terrifying events to come.When she falls into the bay during a kayaking trip, she is rescued from drowning by the mysterious Henry Raphael. Handsome, old fashioned and cordial, he is unlike any other boy she has known before. Intelligent and romantic, he sees straight into her soul. Soon Alice and Henry are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance until she finds out that Henry is not all what he seems. . . "A supernatural mystery, a coming of age story with romance, faith and hope. The biggest theme in the novel is what it means to be alive, focusing on Alice as she tries to navigate her grief for her mother, her new relationship, and her family. As history, a curse and ghosts plague the town, life and death are tackled in a unique way. Tony Lee Moral doesn't shy away from his characters questioning belief, and they are confronted with whether they need to see to believe, or believe to see. The plot comes full circle by the end, but the last page will leave you wanting more. It's clear this is just the beginning for Alice. A must read with strong prose that carries an eerie undercurrent, slowly delving into details as the mystery unfolds." - Readers Favourite"Overall, I thought it was an An enjoyable adventure story filled with love, angst and ghosts." - Writing Times"Moral has a great story, with twists and turns that keep the reader turning the pages. It is part love story, part thriller - hardly surprising given Moral's previous work. The magical realism is a new diversion. . . It's clever." - Julia Webb Harvey"This book is a great read for anyone who loves a great ghost story or paranormal romance." - Debbie McClure"I loved the setting of this novel - Monterey, CA.
