Peter has come home to visit his family. It has a been a very long time and he isn't sure if he is staying or going back. He has a month to decide. Beyond the Ghosts is a very good short story. I loved Peter and his family. The characters are amazing, the storyline is interesting and I wanted more. It stopped abruptly and I could have read for hours longer. If you like military romance you will love this.
