Writer, Mike Noonan was happily married until the day his wife died suddenly falling to the street dead instantly in Derry, Maine where they lived.   Four years pass and Mike is still grieving and hasn't been able  to write since.  Good thing he stashed those titles he wrote over the years but hadn't submitted for publication.  Good thing, indeed, when his publisher and agent started pushing him for more books.  Four years and he is still grieving.   He keeps having ghostly nightmares about the lake home he and his wife shared, "Sarah Laughs."  In spite of this he decides to go back to "Sarah Laughs" and is met with a bunch of ghostly visitations.  He also meets a struggling young widow with a 3 year old daughter who is in a custody battle with her father-in-law.   Mike falls in love with the young widow and sees her daughter as the child he and his first wife had tried so hard to have.   The story is a good one and a creepy, spooky one as Stephen King is master of.   I recommend this one to all who love horror, Stephen King fans and those who love a good read with the thrill of ghosties.
