Giollachríst: Lighting the Candle - Paperback

by Rachel Nicole Edwards (Author)

Giollachríst: Lighting the Candle brilliantly weaves historical fact with paranormal mystery and spirituality, portraying diverse elements such as the supernatural, humor, autism, prejudice, and Irish culture.
Peter O'Sullivan was a teenage Irish immigrant whose life came to a tragic end after his family settled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and worked for the Catawba Iron and Coal Company. For more than a hundred years, Peter's spirit has been anchored in his Virginia home between this world and Heaven. He longs to let go and is unable to communicate with anyone until he meets Emma Roberts.
Emma is a shy teenager who moves into Peter's house, recently renovated in 2018. Growing up on the autism spectrum, she struggles with challenges of her own even though surrounded by a loving family.
Peter and Emma's futures are changed when she discovers she is the only person who can see and communicate with Peter's spirit. Each becomes the strength the other so desperately needs. Will Peter's secrets and a hidden family history hold the answer to his and Emma's profound connection? The valley's forgotten past is reawakened as answers come to light.
