Lynne Hallam's parents had sent her to Maud Sandford's ranch to research the deceased author's life. Moss Caldecott had just been released from prison after 16 years. He'd been convicted of killing his girlfriend who had just broken up with him, a murder another man had finally admitted to. He was relishing in his freedom and the new Corvette he was driving. Suddenly a truck pulled out in front of him, and he came to some form of awareness in the hospital with his body broken and engulfed in pain and hears the staff saying he's in a coma. His spirit leaves him and goes to the ranch house where Lynne is staying. He is intrigued with the pretty woman, and, after she gets use to his ghostlike form, she seems to enjoy his company, too. However, he has no control over his spirit and where it goes. He can even time travel on the ranch, and he has normal form in the past, but, in the present, with Lynne, he's wispy, and most people can't see him at all. He tries to grasp each moment, because he may not have many more.I was rather surprised by how much I liked this book. I'm not a fantasy or supernatural fan, but, despite the necessity of suspending reality, this story was very well done. I didn't see any mistakes at first. After about three-fourths, there were still very few--"Theirs" for "There's," "than" for "then" 3 times, and "I" for "in." The story was captivating, and I would definitely read more from this author.
