The Restoration — Jane Shoup

Six months after the tragic school-bus accident that claimed the lives of her young twin daughters, Andie Ridgemont feels like the walking dead. Because of surviving daughter, twelve year old, Alyssa, she knows she must find a way through the depression and despair. They embark on a trip ‘home' to the small town in Pennsylvania to stay with Aunt Meg and, on the way, they stumble across an abandoned, century-old farmhouse, the infamously haunted Collier House.
The house captures Andie's interest, especially when she learns of its tragic history. When a legal settlement allows her to purchase the home, restoration begins, but so do paranormal experiences that have her questioning her sanity. Meeting true ghost-story author Steve Catalano, who is researching the Collier House, changes everything. There is an instant and profound attraction between them, but Andie is still grieving and she suspects he's too good to be true. Excellent reasons to keep some distance. But Steve isn't going anywhere. He's too deeply, intricately connected to Andie and to the Collier house. Almost like it's meant to be.
