The resident ghost of Harper House, Amelia, still wants more from the Harper family. The prologue of the book tells us she was the mistress of Reginald Harper and the mother of his son, Reginald Jr. She had named the baby James. Reginald Harper had taken the baby away from her as soon as he was born. He had the doctor and the nurse tell Amelia that her child was a girl and it was stillborn. Amelia knew better. So she went to get her son.

Beatrice, Reginald's wife, told Amelia she would never have her son. He was now Reginald Jr. and would never be hers. She was thrown out of Harper House and told never to return. She did go back to get James. By now, her mind was totally shattered and she was insane. She had visited a voodoo priestess and came back with a spell to guarantee that she would get her baby boy.

That is just the beginning of the story. Amelia's takeover of Haley's body to tell them what happened to her is a fascinating story. The blossoming of Harper and Haley's love for each other is tender, but overloaded with sex. Save for the detraction of the sex and bad language, this is a whale of a story and a fitting conclusion to the In the Garden trilogy. Pick up a copy and enjoy!
