About this listen
If you could speak to the dead, anyone at all, who would it be? When Jeni Taylor asked this question, Shada Emery figured it was a joke. After all, no one can speak to the dead ... not really. So both she and Willow Cosgrove joined in the fun, naming their favorite dead celebrities. And then, there was Ember Cole. Enduring more tragedy than any fourteen-year-old should have to bear, all Ember wants is one more talk with her Grandpa Normie, whose death a year ago started it all. So when Jeni suggests a camping trip into the dense woods of northwestern Wisconsin, in order to hold a seance where they are sure not to be disturbed, Shada and Willow put off their misgivings and agree for the sake of their friend. Ember hopes to find the answers she seeks among the dead. Unfortunately for these four girls, sometimes the dead have their own agenda.

Story
Willow was like any other teenage girl until a fatal car accident left her an orphan with the ability to see ghosts. Relocating to live with her grandparents, she hoped to lay low to survive the rest of high school and maybe figure out the whole "seeing the dead" thing. But with ghosts popping up in the middle of class, Willow was struggling to keep the gossip at bay. No one thinks you're normal when you get caught having a one-sided conversation alone.

Story
Deep in the North American forests lurks an animal spirit known as the Grishla. The Grishla is so ancient it pre-dates the human race by several million years, and it is so powerful and reclusive only very insightful witches know of its existence. Five hundred years ago, the Dwanake tribe possessed such witches. Drunk on their own power and arrogance, these witches attempted to enslave the Grishla. Enraged, the creature began hunting and killing the Dwanake.

Is there really such thing as a lucky charm?

The chain of events that leads to him possessing the photograph and finding the woman pictured in it is the stuff of love stories only a master such as Sparks can write.

From the day Cobb and Mary meet kayaking on Maine’s Allagash River and fall deeply in love, the two approach life with the same sense of adventure they use to conquer the river’s treacherous rapids. But rivers do not let go so easily - and neither does their love. When Mary’s life takes a cruel turn, she vows to face those rough waters on her own terms and asks Cobb to promise, when the time comes, to help her return to their beloved river for one final journey. This beautiful tale is set against the rugged wilderness of Maine, the exotic islands of Indonesia, the sweeping panoramas of Yellowstone National Park, and the tranquil villages of rural New England.
