Beyond the Ghosts Jody Pardo

Families from Legacy Falls share a tradition of loss. Lovers have said farewell at the Pleasant Street train station for seventy years. Mothers have welcomed home their sons in the ticker tape return from war and loss. After every war, every battle, Legacy Falls opens its arms and its hearts to the wounded warriors returning home. First Sergeant Peter Toledo returns home to Legacy Falls after last deployment to his hometown where time has stood still. He is faced with a decision to re-enlist in the Army or retired well decorated and return to civilian life. Christina walks into his life with her sweet smile and Southern charm and a world of possibilities and what ifs begin to come into play as she steals his heart. First, he must exorcise his demons and deal with tragedy too close to home before he lets her into his life. Together, maybe they can live beyond the ghosts.
