There is the paranormal part of Spirit Keeper, Book I, called “Identity.” In it we learn about the characters’ identities and prepare to solve the mystery of a murdered soul.

I love how God works in the Bible, which transforms into our lives; His wonders to perform. I love how His angels do His bidding, appearing to announce the good news, or fighting against evil, victoriously for His righteousness or protecting His children. Though the Bible doesn’t give credence to the dead returning as ghosts, which my heroine, at first, had concerns about her abilities to see them as being overtaken by an evil spirit. But later she understands that God had given her visions of only this spirit’s dishonored soul, to correct a wrong just as her female ancestors had done before her. It is a gift not used for gain or conjured up in witchcraft, but a family duty used for the furtherance of God’s glory.

Though only seen by the heroine, the vision becomes almost real to her after she gets over the fear-factor of seeing her appear at any time, during her recurring nightmare, day-mares or episodes from the keeper’s PTSD. She feels her vision’s emotions and can inhale her minty scent. To fulfill her duties, she, helped by the hero, must restore the young spirit’s good name by finding the truth of who the murderer is, and her body’s whereabouts. But first, they must solve the mystery of who she is, in a town that harbors a twelve-year-old cover-up and a vendetta against the Spirit Keeper whose name means truth, and is singled out  by an identifiable facial Port-wine stain.

The Spirit Keeper experiences the spirit’s agitation until she’s understood by the keeper. She knows but can’t clearly communicate who she is or explain what has happened, and sometimes she resorts to singing Cindi Lauper’s “True Colors” to prove a point of friend or foe. Being murdered at twelve-years-old, her thoughts are somewhat childish, and she draws childlike pictures of rainbows when she is please or just wanting the heroine to know she’s there. The vision never moves her lips, but communicates, being connected directly to her keeper’s mind. She helps her keeper solve the mystery of who she is by creating a mental state of imagined physical pain, and an urgent demand that the heroine uses her art skills to draw her, so he can see. then, the novel ends with her identity learned.
