Waiting by Doree Anderson

No teenage girl likes to share, especially her closet space with a WWI ghost. With her braces off, summer vacation a week away, and a member of the sophomore cheerleading squad, only life altering uprising could destroy Dani McCarty's happiness. So when her mother declares, "We're moving". Dani's calm life is destroyed and she feels like she's tumbling down the proverbial drain. Her hard landing is a haunted, dilapidated, abandoned, military hospital that her family is turning into a bed and breakfast. Add a pro bono nanny job, a bad boy boyfriend with a drug problem, and a ghost in her closet, and you have one grouchy teen. When WWI ghost Lieutenant William Raleigh announces that she's his salvation and his only chance to leave his state of limbo, she realizes that her fifteen year-old life is taking on some major changes.

Author Bio: From Doree's website: "Do you remember your first crush, the first time a boy held your hand, your first kiss? I try and capture those tender memories in my Middle Grade and Teen books along with a few interesting misfits who believe they are of this realm.

During my childhood in Missouri, I became rather enamored with a gentleman writer named Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) and enjoyed trips to the town of Hannibal, where his Tom Sawyer adventures were born. A lot of my writing will reflect areas of my own adventures in and around the Lake of the Ozarks. Memories of weekends exploring the many coves and caves that sprout up throughout southern Missouri will peek between my pages.

At the age of fifty-one, I received the most gracious gift from my husband; the opportunity to write full-time with his open and honest support. What a valued treasure this is because of the financial burden alone. My personal life is filled by my husband of 35 years, My beautiful daughter, Jodie and four exceptional grand-children; Kelsey, Callum, Taeg and Nodin, who’s personalities peek through on several pages in my books."
