About this ebook

Emeline Upswatch, a naive 20-year-old bride, is grief-stricken after the deaths of both of her beloved parents. Now, Emeline believes she has made a grave error in moving with her husband, Randy, from her California Delta childhood home to unknown Charles Town, Virginia. She questions her marriage and herself. Marooned in grief in an unfamiliar world and intimidated by her mother-in-law, Emeline is rescued by the appearance of a mysterious older woman, Felicity, who becomes her dearest friend, mentor, and “other mother” with whom she can share her innermost feelings. Unlike Emeline, Felicity divulges nothing about her history or personal life. When Felicity disappears as mysteriously as she arrived, Emeline is determined to unearth her older friend’s whereabouts. What she ultimately discovers forces her to question her sanity, world, memories, and newfound joy.

In her second book, Jayne Lisbeth cements her reputation as a “sensitive, entertaining and deeply moving writer.” In Raising the Dead her quirky, mysterious, home-spun and loveable characters keep the reader engaged and entertained from the first page to the last.

Early reviews praise Raising the Dead as “a deep and emotional account of Emeline’s introspective journey with a wholesome, spiritual, supernatural angle ... Inspirational ... A poignant plot, with a well-structured, assured writing style, sure to appeal to a wide audience.”

Jayne Lisbeth

Jayne Lisbeth was born in New York City in 1949. From there, life took her to New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, California and finally Tampa, Florida where she resides with her artist husband. Ms. Lisbeth is an avid grave-stone rubber who has pursued her craft in cemeteries from New England and the Southeast US to the West Coast of California and Oregon. Ms. Lisbeth has been published in the Pomfret, Vermont News, Sacramento Magazine, Monterey News, Monterey Peninsula Magazine, Phoenix Anthology, and Pages of My Life Anthologies. She has received awards at the local level for her short stories and poetry. Her first book, Writing in Wet Cement, has been well received as a ‘deeply personal memoir’, revealing the depths of pain and elevation of joy by sharing her most intimate life experiences through sensually evocative words and painterly writing which resonates with all readers. Her blog, ‘Food for Thought’ explores women’s roles in sensitive, provocative portrayals of the difficulties and joys women experience through all stages of their lives. ‘Food for Thought’ appears on Ms. Lisbeth’s website, jaynelisbeth.com [http://jaynelisbeth.com/], as well as on her Austin Macauley website, jayne lisbeth.ampbk.com [http://jaynelisbeth.ampbk.com/].
