Waiting

Middle Grade/Young Adult Novel
No teenage girl likes to share, especially her closet space with a WWI ghost. With her braces off, summer vacation a week away, and a member of the sophomore cheerleading squad, only a life altering uprising could destroy Dani McCarty's happiness. Therefore, when her mother declares, "We're moving," Dani's calm life is destroyed and she feels like she's tumbling down the proverbial drain. Her hard landing is a haunted, dilapidated, abandoned, military hospital that her family is turning into a bed and breakfast. Add a pro bono nanny job, a bad boy boyfriend with a drug dealer, and a ghost in her closet, and you have one grouchy teen. When WW1 ghost Lieutenant William Raleigh announces that she's his salvation and his only chance to leave his state of limbo, she realizes that her fifteen year-old life is taking on some major changes.
