However, I do have one serious problem with this book. The author goes to great pains to present his material in an objective fashion, but this comes off as nothing more than wishful thinking on his part. These experiences, by their very nature, are utterly subjective, and therefore beyond the scrutiny of science. At the end of the book, the author presents a hypothesis to explain NDE's which I find to be frankly ridiculous. It is a wish based on an assumption which is founded on whimsy. This is not science, this is good karma.

Barbara Grahame, the most frequent ghostly visitor, is an independent and intelligent young woman living in the American Revolution. Her interaction with the extraordinarily clever British officer, Peaceable Sherwood is very enjoyable to read...particularly as Peaceable is nemesis of Barbara's brother, Dick (a young captain fighting for American independence). At the same time, serving to frame the story, Peggy uncovers mysteries of the past, and is led to her own romance with a young man from England.
A very unusual and thoughtful Revolution story with possibly the best ghosts I've ever read about.
It is an awesome book, with a happy ending. It is very well written, and you get really close to the characters. It is a little slow at the beginning, and sometimes the plot lags when you get to Peggy. Peggy's story isn't quite that interesting, but the ghosts's stories are great. Also, when you are reading it, keep in mind that this was written in 1958, so some of the ideas are a little outdated. But overall, this was a very interesting read. The Sherwood Ring is written for kids 9-13, but anyone will enjoy this book and want to add it to their collection.

Lucinda who has never worked in her life disguises herself as Lucy French, obtaining employment as a housekeeper to a wealthy Kentucky family. However, if her poor work habits don't unmask her, her growing feelings for Max "car guy" Hogan will for she is falling in love with the racing car driver.
Readers who enjoy a wild contemporary romantic suspense with the emphasis on laughter will clearly want to read THE RING ON HER FINGER. The story line never takes itself serious even when Lucy finds herself in trouble and on the lam. The secondary characters provide the fullness that enable fans to appreciate the antics of the lead female character and the bewilderment of the prime male hunk who feels as if he was hit by a vehicle at a 100 MPH upon meeting Lucy. Though their relationship takes a secondary seat to humor and the murder subplot, Elizabeth Bevarly provides a fun frolic for fans of the sub-genre.

The information contained was relatively sparse, and several pages would have had to be xeroxed - for example the 'Guest List' was only one page with space for maybe 16 names.
Instead I bought the 'Easy Wedding Planner, Organizer & Keepsake' (same authors), removed the pages from the spiral binding and put them in my own ringbound folder, so I could punch and add my own paperwork. I would recommend doing the same; even though it takes some time, it's worth it!
