Amazing Grace

The Elliott City Ghost Story is amazing, especially for a first book, by a new author. Maria weaves a complex story with the Grace of a seasoned veteran. The characters show genuine depth and complexity. I especially like the added texture that comes from a genuine knowledge of the area and places the characters visit. The story could have been bittersweet but instead comes across as heartwarming. I heartily recommend this book.
