A ghost story with a difference. Savannah, Georgia, from the first days of the Civil War to the present, is the setting for this tale of a most unusual haunting. Luzette, only eleven years old when a stray bullet ended her lifetime, shares with the reader the account of her deathtime. Confined to the house by forces she struggles to understand, Luzette's spirit is at times a warm and welcoming presence and at others a fearsome specter. The changes to the house in which she died, the evolution of the cultural and social mores of the surrounding society, the people who live out their lives in the old house. Contains historically authentic, but possibly offensive, language.

This review is from: Essence: This child ghost wants to tell you her story (Paperback)
Essence: This Child Ghost Wants To Tell You Her Story is an engaging original novel featuring a most unusual protagonist - a child ghost Luzette, only eleven years old during the Civil War era when a stray bullet claimed her life. After her death she witnesses changes in the house, people coming and going, the world about her evolving and the regrets of other spirits. A poignant, emotional tale of the complex landscape beyond the veil, Essence is a novel that demands the reader's attention to the very last page.

Excellent, a worthwhile read.,
By J.K "avid reader" (Clinton Twp, MI< USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essence: This child ghost wants to tell you her story (Paperback)
I ordered this book in August. Finished it in two days, I couldn't put it down. Luzette is amazing, her story is one of fear, love, loneliness, fear, courage and hope. I wish sometimes that I would have an encounter like the ones described within. Luzette is now one of my all time favorite characters, and this is without a doubt my favorite book.

Essence is a fascinating story about the ghost of a little girl that haunts a house for centuries. The story takes the reader through many time periods, and provides beautiful examples of human emotion and desire through the introduction of many well developed characters. I could not put this book down, it was extremely entertaining.
