The Apparition in the Kitchen Jana O'Brien

Things at the beautiful, historic Granger-Teague home are quite pleasant. The family has finally begun building itself back up, following a series of crises. Following the death of Faye, Jerry's beloved wife and best friend since childhood, things had been difficult. With help from friends and family, he began putting his life back together. And there were three people who had his back no matter what. There's Anne Granger, his daughter-in-law. She's the one who picked him up and got him going again. She's an angel, as far as Jerry is concerned. He loves her in what many consider an unhealthy way. She means so much to Jerry; he doesn't think anyone will ever understand. There's Marilyn Beales. He worked with her at the high school for years. She was the counselor. Having gone to school to study mental conditions and such, turned out to be right helpful once she started dating Jerry. She had known his wife, and understood his anguish. Marilyn is good to Jerry. They love one another, but have no intention to marry. They give each other what the other needs in many ways. Then, there's Faye. Despite the fact she has been dead for almost a decade, Faye and Jerry still have a quite active relationship. She is still seen frequently in the family home. She keeps an eye on things, keeps people in line, and torments the cat. She continues to show her devotion to the man she cheered on and supported all of her life; her husband. Faye had never left his side. Yes, things in Jerry's life are certainly looking up, but not without a hitch. There's never a dull moment in Jerry's life! But, he has it made. He has his beloved daughter-in-law, the beautiful high school counselor, and his deceased but not departed wife ... the apparition in the kitchen.
