I think the best way to review this story is to start with a list of characters:Lottie Roberts - the ghost who doesn’t know she’s a ghost and exists in the house her late husband, Elmer, built prior to the Civil War. She’s certain she can come back to life if she can only figure out how.Justine Hale - a modern woman in her thirties. Her husband just left her to become a monk leaving her with:Pip and Judy Ann, her two childrenPauline, her newly-widowed, bankrupt motherAgnes, her ex-mother-in-law(The two older women constantly bicker)Add to this the fact she just lost her job. However, she has a contract to write some software for a company. So she packs up the family and heads for an old house on which she has taken a lease-to-buy in Alabama.Now add the handsome neighbor, Tucker Highsmith, his father who resides in a nursing home during the week, and Milo Roberts, a distant relative of Lottie’s late husband who, under the guise of digging for moles, keeps digging holes in the yard searching for the treasure Elmer buried before he left for war.Now you have the setting for a romantic comedy that will have you laughing out loud. I don’t want to spoil the ending for you, although you obviously expect a happy one.The only fault I would find with this story is the rapidity with which the romance between Justine and Tucker progresses.I was lucky to catch this book while it was a ‘free-read’ on Amazon. However, the price of $2.99 is well worth it.
