"Lilah's Ghost" is a short ghost story from author Deb Logan. This is 155 Kb download from Amazon.com and was free at the time of writing this review.SPOILERS (general theme, no specific details revealed)12 year old Hannah Barnes and her family have just move to an old run-down mansion in Georgia. This old and once cotton growing homestead has a long history...and it has a ghost, Lilah. This is the story of friendship and old memories.END SPOILERSSome might say this is a Young Adult (YA) genre book and they may have a point (there is no category of writing that I dislike more than YA) but this is different. It has a gentle demeanor that focuses on family values and good feelings rather than on heroic deeds with often unbelievable and unrealistic outcomes. And these 'family values' seem very appropriate within the scheme of this short work and did not seem overdone or contrived.Conclusion:I really liked Ms Logan's style of writing...warm, nicely pace with a quiet sensitivity. Coincidentally, the type of book that somehow seems an appropriate read around Xmas time (although this in not a Xmas story).Any young or young at heart person would probably enjoy this work.Impressive enough to make me look for more writings from Deb Logan.As it is...5 Stars.Ray Nicholson
