The Spirit Child - Paperback

by Kathryn M. Hearst (Author)

As a part-time shrink, full-time psychic, and one of only two living Nunnehi--the Cherokee equivalent to a fairy-I have my hands full.

The last thing I need is to take on a new patient...especially when said patient is a psychically gifted nine-year-old pageant queen, who happens to have confessed to murdering her stepfather.

Honestly, how can I, a woman without a flicker of maternal instinct, help a little girl who's a cross between Honey Booboo and the Long Island Medium?

But how can I say no? It's not like I can Google "Magic wielding mental health therapists" and find someone else to see her. Besides, it's a temporary situation. It's not like I'm going to adopt her...well not right now anyway.

It turns out, the kiddo is the least of my problems. Orange County PD called me in to help catch a child-killer. One of his ghostly victims followed me home, and the obnoxious spirit refuses to leave.

My mates and I can't seem to agree on the color of the sky, let alone how to build a life together. How can our relationship survive an invisible teen-aged roommate?

Better question, can I risk my life to stop a murderer without risking my heart to a pint-sized psychic?

You'll love this Paranormal Romance with a Southern twist, because beneath the fantasy is a different kind of magic...the magic of family and sacrifice and acceptance.
