Review: Sweet story -- with ghosts!
Rating: 4 out of 5

This sweet romantic story, set in Lexington, Missouri (which my grandfather always called 'Misery'), brings together a believable heroine, Carrie, who's struggling with end-of-life issues and an abandoned antebellum house filled with ghosts. It's rather hard to say the story is believable, but the characters somehow ring authentic. Carrie's quest to create a house of celebration has the reader cheering for her success and her new community of friends, even the ghostly ones. How do we hold true to our dreams when death comes before we are prepared? Celebration House shows us possibility and hope. A satisfying read. I'll be looking for other books by Annette Drake.
