Diary of a Ghost is loosely based on the authenticated Civil War diaries of Eugene Forbes. The story begins with the heroine, Samantha, losing her lover to suicide. This sends her into a terrible depression that is only relieved when she begins to transcribe war journals while in Charleston, South Carolina. The writer of the books and now a ghost, Josiah, appears to her from the dead to take her to all the battles and places he saw as a Union soldier. But, the further she delves into the spirit world the further she drifts from reality. Only one person, can save Samantha from herself, a young lawyer in town, Sean is torn by his feelings for her, and the need to save her. Yet he faces losing himself in the process. What path will he choose?

4This was a pretty good book  Oct 03, 2009
The only thing that I didn't like about it were a couple of what I thought were inconsistencies toward the end, but it did hold my interest througout and I'm glad that I purchased it.

5Diary of a Ghost  Oct 21, 2008
You can't put this book down!! It is filled with history and is also a mystery. You almost feel you are there in the battle scenes as Samantha's mystery unfolds. This story is a small piece of a war that could have destroyed our country and did not! It is also a modern day mystery. It is filled with humor and reality in a form rarely achieved!

5You won't want this book to end!  Aug 11, 2008
Diary of a Ghost (1)
This is a a great book! It kept me in suspense throughout. Just when I thought I had it figured out, there was a twist. Samantha's character inspires the reader to care what happens to her. I loved the historical references that were the meat of the book. The author did a great job of making the ghost and his history real. I kept forgetting that I don't believe in ghosts!

5The story draws you in  Jul 27, 2008
As with most avid readers, I read more than one book at a time. The major book remains in the living room and the secondary is designated to the bathroom. This book moved quickly into the Living room. It was an interesting book that quickly drew me in. It leaves you constantly wondering what was going to come next. Drawing inspiration from the actual diary of Mr. Forbes gave the Civil War battle scenes an air of authenticity that really gives the reader a hint of what it might have been like to live through the war. Finally, the ending totally surprised me. A great book from a first time author!

5Outstanding book.  Jul 12, 2008
The authors description of the places visited are fantastic and a few I have visited which makes it all the more interesting. This is a book that is difficult to put down and I read most of it in one day. The book is very well written and sentences seem to flow together. Usually I skip many sentences but read every word in this book as I was afraid of missing some important aspect to the story.
