Some promises survive death. Some love stories refuse to end.
In 1841, the thriving Gulf Coast city of Port St. Joseph is devastated by one of the deadliest yellow fever epidemics in American history. As disease sweeps through the town and a hurricane delivers the final blow, thousands perish, entire families disappear, and countless victims are buried in unmarked graves.
Among them is a young French merchant whose final promise to the woman he loves is never fulfilled.
Nearly two centuries later, Alex, a nurse practitioner and college professor seeking a quieter life, leaves Atlanta for the tranquil shores of Port St. Joe, Florida. His dream home sits beside the forgotten cemetery where many of the epidemic's victims still rest beneath the sand.
At first, the town seems idyllic.
Then the whistling begins.
Three haunting notes drift through the midnight fog.
Footprints appear where no one has walked.
Ghostly figures vanish with the setting sun.
And a mysterious gold locket begins drawing Alex into a mystery buried for nearly two hundred years.
As he uncovers forgotten journals, long-lost family secrets, and the tragic love story that history nearly erased, Alex discovers that some spirits do not seek revenge-they seek remembrance.
But not every ghost welcomes the living.
Some secrets were buried for a reason.
And someone-or something-has been waiting for him all along.
Set against the breathtaking beauty of Florida's Forgotten Coast, The Ghosts of Port St. Joe blends authentic history, Southern Gothic atmosphere, supernatural mystery, and unforgettable romance into a haunting tale of love, sacrifice, redemption, and the enduring power of hope.
