Vintage Spirits

Two years after the death of her husband, Julie Duncan is still buried in layers of grief and guilt. Each night she feels the cold spot where Greg once lay and wonders if she'll ever fill it. When her mother dies on New Year’s Eve, Julie feels more lost than ever—a fifty-year-old widow with no purpose and a house full of ghosts.

Then a cocktail recipe appears in the magical book her late friend Inga left her, and Julie discovers she can see the dead. Suddenly spirits are everywhere, seeking her help to find peace. But the ghost who changes everything is the one person she's missed so desperately it hurts.

As Julie helps lost souls cross over, she begins to rediscover the fierce, funny woman she used to be. But her estranged brother has returned too, determined to steal her inheritance, and he'll use any weapon he can find, including Julie's new gift. With her cocktail club friends rallying around her and a handsome doctor showing unexpected interest, Julie faces her hardest choice yet: hold onto Greg's ghost forever, or let him go and finally embrace the life she's been too afraid to live.

A poignant, funny and deeply moving story about love, loss and learning to live again. Perfect for fans of KF Breene, Iris Beaglehole and anyone who's ever felt stuck, scared or too old for second chances.
