Notes on the Windowsill

Rating:
Summary: a great read!
Review: Jordan Raven had grown up with only her mother. She had no idea who her father had been and she always wished for a father's influence. When she enrolled in college she decided to be a psychologist. Her mother told her at age five that she would be good at it because she had the gift of listening to the problems of others.

Since she was a small girl, she had been visited by the ghosts of her grandmother and grandfather. Rather than being frightened she took it in stride. They had been part of her life. She always noticed a young man that parked near her and was surprised when one day he asked her out.

Martin Corbette was amazed at the attraction he felt for Jordon. From the first moment he asked her out he knew she was the one for him. He took her to romantic places and continually had little surprises for her. He would leave her notes on the windowsill for her to find when he wasn't around. But would this love last forever? She kept having dreams of him disappearing.

In NOTES ON THE WINDOWSILL, Jennifer L. B. Leese brings a fascinating story of ghosts visiting from the dead, a fortune teller to explain these happenings, and a search for true happiness. It was a hard book to lay down in the search for the happy ending. Ms. Leese is an very good writer and this book is an excellent choice for those that like the paranormal genre.

Summary: Beautiful, Yet Haunting Love Story!
Review: NOTES ON THE WINDOWSILL by Jennifer LB Leese


Jordan Raven had her first ghostly experience at the age of four when her grandfather died. She didn't fully understand the concept of death at that time, but she knew somehow that he was in a better place. Later that night while she slept, her grandfather visited her, she wasn't afraid; in fact she smiled, and welcomed him. Her vision of him was clear; there was a bright purplish white light that surrounded him, and he wore a white suit, so bright that it appeared blue.

He floated towards her with his arms extended, and a smile on his face. When he was just about four feet in front of her, he spoke to her, and the words he said, she would never forget for as long as she lived. "Take care of your mother Jordan. You will face some very difficult moments in your lifetime, but I'm here to tell you that I'll be here for you. I love you." Then he disappeared.

Jordan experienced several other visits from friends and family
members who had "passed on" all appearing in dreams within a few years of each other. Some spoke to her, while others didn't. Those who did speak told her that they were doing well, but the strangest thing of all was, they all repeated what her grandfather had said years ago. "You will have some difficult moments in your lifetime"

When Jorie first met Martin he was a sophomore in college, she was a freshman. He stood out amongst all of the other guys on campus, she remembered the first time that she looked into his emerald green eyes thinking how confident he looked, and friendly. Almost every morning they would arrive in the college parking lot around the same time. He'd look over at her as if he knew she'd be there. He'd smile, and then run off to catch up with his friends. Then one morning he finally gotten up the nerve to approach her and ask her out on a date, she accepted, and from that day on Jordan and Martin became inseparable soul mates!

They fell in love and dated all through college, brought their first house together, and were talking about marriage. Whenever Martin had to leave to go out in the morning's he would leave Jorie a little love note on the windowsill telling her how much he loved her. Everything was right with their world until that tragic night in October.

A night that should have been one of celebration; a night that should have been one of the happiest nights of their lives. Instead it would be the night that turned Jorie's whole world upside down.

In the blink of an eye two lives are changed forever!

Ms. Leese has written a beautiful and haunting love story that draws you in from the first chapter to the last page turned. I can't compliment her enough on a job well done. Her story had me riveted, and eager through my tears to finish yes tears that I could not help but shed in joy as well as sadness. If you are in the mood for a truly touching and heart felt read, then I invite you to read, "Notes on the Windowsill" The best way to describe this story is to say that it's a "Gift" and a testament to love. It deserves a re-read and will be added to my keeper shelf. I look forward to reading more from this talented author!

Summary: Surreal, haunting, and timeless
Review: NOTES ON THE WINDOWSILL is a paranormal romance that will make you laugh, cry, and think about the many signs and signals around us that we don't always notice.

The characters of the author's creation are real and vivid. The story centers around a young woman named Jordan, the main character, who has lost the love of her life, Martin. Through her days of mourning and trying to heal, she reminisces about their amazing relationship and surreal bond. The intensity of their love was on a higher level than normal relationships, each feeling they were meant to be together, soul mates even. Jordan realizes her many dreams and visions had given her signs about the fateful night Martin died.

Months later she still feels his presence and receives notes on the windowsill, a sweet gesture he began when they moved in together. She isn't sure whether she is going crazy or if her love is trying to tell her something. Through visits to her psychiatrist and a kind fortune-teller, she finds pieces that unravel many of the symbols she ignored. As Jordan tries to move on, she meets a new man who has many similarities to Martin and begins to fulfill a promise, a dream she was meant to fulfill.

Jennifer L. B. Leese paints a very sentimental story that draws you in and haunts you after finishing the story. You feel compassion and sympathy for the trials and tribulations the main character is forced to go through and you are right there with her. I highly recommend NOTES ON THE WINDOWSILL -- a touching love story. You may want to have the Kleenex box nearby as you read.
