​
Outwardly, Jacky seems like a normal young woman. She makes a living from her work editing and selling tools online, sees her friends and family, and looks after her dog, Nugget, whom she rescued when he was a pup. But Jacky knows that she is different. Just when she is least expecting it, the strangest things occur. The spirits of the dead - pleading, threatening or warning - appear to her and dominate her life with their requests and demands.
​
How can Jacky ever find a partner when she is blessed with this gift, or afflicted with this curse? There are plenty of contenders: Alex, the kind, good minister, and Kade, the charismatic but troubled baker, both have eyes for Jacky. If she is ever to find love, Jaky knows that she must tell the man of her dreams about her meetings with the dead.
