Abby and Josh spend time together talking and touching because all the love and feelings they once had for each other are still there.

Josh exposes the culprit responsible for the strange occurrences and before he is called back, Josh makes love with Abby. When she wakes up, he is gone. Abby goes outside and sees two miracles! One is that it is finally raining - can you guess the other? I couldn't tell right off the bat what era this story is taking place in - Josh is told to think of himself as a pinch hitter, and there is reference to the war, but which one? And it was confusing to me whether or not Abby and Josh had lovers in the true sense of the word while he was alive. Other than that, this was a great read.Susan Kay Law writes with humor! The dialogue between her characters is witty and sexy! There is a mystery that will keep you guessing till the very end and a heavenly romance that will keep you entertained! Thanks to Ms. Law, these delightful characters both find a bit of Heaven In West Texas!Gloria Miller --
