Good Spirits by B.K. Borison (Paperback)

Nolan Callahan has spent years carrying out the same seasonal duty as the Ghost of Christmas Past. He moves through homes, guides people through their memories, and then slips away again. His work gives him purpose, but it also keeps him at a distance from the world he once knew. When he arrives to guide Harriet York, he expects another quiet assignment. Instead, he meets someone whose kindness and steady nature catch him off guard.

Harriet tries to keep her life in order and rarely puts her own needs first. Being visited by a ghost forces her to pause and look at moments she has left untouched. Each memory they revisit pushes her to face truths she has avoided. Nolan soon realises that helping Harriet means helping her see the strength she already carries, even if she doesn’t recognise it.

As they move through her past, the bond between them grows. Harriet starts to see Nolan as more than a guide, and Nolan begins to feel connections he thought he had lost forever. The countdown to Christmas Eve brings pressure neither can ignore. Their time is short, and both must decide what they want from the days they have left together.

This story explores second chances, personal growth, and the pull of a connection that arrives when least expected.
