"If the spirit of a loving wife can’t nudge her husband in the right direction, who can?"
So thinks thirty-something Judith McBride, a Jewish control freak with an unlikely last name. When Judith dies in a medical mishap, she calls on her supernatural status to "rescue" her widowed spouse from the gold-digging clutches of their sexy, thrill-seeking blonde accountant. But interfering with earthly events is strictly verboten, and the repercussions ripple outward, affecting not only Judith but the lives of her husband and best friend.
Judith’s journey from the physical to the spiritual world is peppered with adjustments, choices, and self-discovery, ultimately leading her to the realization that loving sometimes means learning how to let go.

About this Author:
Cynthia Polansky has been writing creatively since she was old enough to put pencil to paper. A friend’s casual remark about her skillful writing prompted Cynthia to take a creative writing class, where she learned the basics of fiction writing and acquired confidence in her ability. Four years later, her first novel, Far Above Rubies, was published. Polansky (writing as Cynthia P. Gallagher) also dabbles in nonfiction. The dog-related articles comprising her writing resumé attested to her love of man’s best friend and led her to write several dog breed books and earn membership in the Dog Writers Association of America.
A Boston native, Cynthia Polansky earned her B.A. degree in Russian from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. After a few detours from the nation’s capital to Milwaukee and Memphis, she now lives in Annapolis, Maryland with her husband, a retired Fedex pilot. When not writing, she enjoys knitting, crossword puzzles, and volunteering at the local animal shelter. She is also a part-time tutor for the Writing Center at the U.S. Naval Academy.
