BPW: Judi Phillips

Judi Phillips has always had stories playing in her head for as long as she can remember. Then one day it occurred to her she could write them down--and there was no turning back. It’s much easier to keep the stories straight when they’re on paper rather than rattling around in her head. She lives in Maine in the foothills of the White Mountains with two Yorkies and a MinPin and visits her grown children who have followed her advice and provided wonderful places for her to visit.

Widower Trace Hawthorne has run his life on the left-brained model of an engineer—except for his impulsive move to Egypt with his toddler twelve years ago. When he returns to Minnesota and buys a century-old house, any odd incidents—misplaced items, flickering lights, a boy, Edward, whom no one will claim—he dismisses with logic.

Single mother and herbalist Wynter Storm is poised to expand her business, moonlighting as an interior decorator for extra funds. In denial about her psychic intuition, she senses things about Trace’s new house and about him.

Logic and intuition collide, sparks fly and love ignites. Can they heal past hurts of grief, guilt and abandonment while fending off their matchmaking daughters, curtailing their mothers—one a psychic and the other a busybody—and help the ghost of a small boy find his way home?
