Talking to the Dead

by Bonnie Grove (?)
EP library (I think)
genre: Christian fiction

I read this quite a while ago. It was a Spirit of Life book club title. The main character has just lost her husband and is doing some heavy-duty grieving. As she moves (or doesn't move) through life without him, different people bring different things to her. I liked the crazy older gal the best. Her sister's story bothered me the most. As the truth about her relationship with her husband unravels, we got a clearer picture of the reality of her situation. She sees him and talks with him throughout the book - hence the title.

Wow! This one surprised me! I enjoyed it, though it's actually pretty sad for most of the story. Kate's husband's sudden death has sent her spiraling into depression. She isn't sure of her sanity as she hears her dead husband talking to her and has conversations with him. Looking forward to book club!
