In the Ghost, Danielle Steel has created a stunning blend of history and drama. Brilliantly inter-weaving past and present, she brings to life two stories, centuries apart, in a timeless novel of courage, healing and love. With a wife he loves and an exciting London based career, architect Charles Waterson's life seems in perfect balance. Nothing can prepare him for the sudden end in his ten year marriage or his unwanted transfer to his firms New York office. With nothing left to lose, Charlie takes a leave of absence from his job to drive through New England, hoping to make peace with himself. Christmas is approaching when Charlie leaves New York, heading to Vermont to ski. But a sudden, blinding snowstorm strands him in a small Massachusetts town. There, as if by chance, Charlie meets an elderly widow who offers to rent him her most precious possession: a remote, exquisite lakeside chatue. Hidden deep in the woods, it once belonged to a woman who lived and died there two centuries before. Her name was Sarah Ferguson. And from the moment Charlie sets foot inside the chateau's graceful depths, he feels her presence, and longs to know more about the life she led.
