Ghostly Read and a Recipe

by Robert Kanehl

Love does not end with death or at the gravesite. It lingers in this world, as powerful after death as before. Ashley Dunlap and David Paine discover this first hand, as a benevolent spirit guides their lives toward its desires. Will the two follow this spirit’s pathway or rebel against its power to follow their own free will?

This spirit of a murdered family member hovers over the two youths, providing timely nudges and direct pushes toward chance meetings and shared experiences. Her influence twists and turns their earthbound lives into a series of meetings and departures until the helix of their family history finally completes its cycle.

Eternal rest for the spirit of Alice Svenson hinges on the completion of her mission to assist these two young people down the correct, unseen path. Alice’s guidance is not always welcomed, and brings forth anger and wrath on her part, as well as that of Ashley and David. Can there be a happily ever
after for these two?

Footnotes

• Cook's Note:
• Cookies will never look 'done' as they don't brown up like a traditional cookie does.
• Store in an airtight storage container. Put wax paper between layers when storing. If cookies become too hard, simply add a piece of bread to the storage container.
