Nella Waits [Hardcover]

By: Marlys Millhiser

A spellbinding, romantic novel of the supernatural pits a determined young woman against the ghost of a possessive mother for the love of her son. Widowed, penniless, with no place to go except her aging mother's farm, Lynette Stewart reluctantly returns to Roggins, Iowa. When his grandfather mysteriously dies, Jan Van Fleet must also return to the same small town to claim his inheritance. Attracted by their mutual restlessness, equally aware of their unhappy pasts and hollow futures if they remain. Jay and Lynette find themselves falling in love. And as their love grows, frightening supernatural occurrences overwhelm the menacing old Van Fleet mansion. A deadly chill radiates from the house, and birds and insects avoid the place, except for one white mourning dove perched on the balcony, its piercing red eyes surveying all. Lynette's brush with death in the freezing mansion begins a final, frightening duel of wills from both sides of the grave. Vigorous, fascinating suspense and a totally believable heroine make this a must read for all lovers of powerful, harrowing dramas about the unknown world beyond.
