The White Feather

Written by Heidi Wessman Kneale

Narrated by Heidi Wessman Kneale

Crippled by a fear of firearms, James Cowper is rejected by the draft during the Great War. For this, the villagers mark him as a cowardly pariah. Cruelly shamed by them, James attempts a desperate deed by the tombstone of the village's most famous lady, Georgia Palmerton, also known as the Stoweham Ghost.

A hundred years ago, a romantic rival cursed Georgia Palmerton. Since then, she's wandered in phantom form, naked and alone, watching generations grow up, marry, live, and die. Georgia could be restored back to life, if someone had the courage to help her.

Freeing Georgia from physical death is a simple matter. Freeing James from social death is altogether more challenging, especially when he is asked to give up everything he's ever known. Now that the ghost and the pariah have found each other, will love and courage be enough to save them both?

Reviews for The White Feather

[fred_mouse · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Historical supernatural romance, set in rural England during the Great War, where a bullied young man finds happiness and solves the mystery of the local ghost. This is at best guess a novella length piece, with minimal to no side or sub-plots. Competently written romance with some decidedly anachronistic feeling details.
