YA
In this paranormal romance, Amelia, a ghost, saves a teen named Joshua from drowning in the river she haunts (where she died). As a result, they both find something worth living for. Emotion-filled prose ratchets up the tension as the chaste courtship progresses. The story's climax, while dramatic, is a bit muddled.
