Cathy Passmore meets Patrick Faltynski in the second grade of their community's Catholic school. They become close friends and confidantes as they navigate growing up. Then Patrick develops headaches and a sensitivity to sunlight. He is diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer and dies at fourteen years old leaving Cathy to grieve. Years after Patrick's death, Cathy marries, and while awaiting the birth of her second child, Patrick appears to her one night as she is dozing off to sleep. As he sits on her bed with his boyish grin, she can see him clearly. He says, "Come play with me," and after a few minutes, disappears. Startled and frightened by the reality of the experience, Cathy attempts to make sense of the visit, while Patrick continues to periodically appear to her and spend time with her. With Patrick in tow, she seeks advice from a physician, an elderly parish priest, and one of the doctors who treated Patrick while he was ill. She discovers certain individuals can also see him. Together, Cathy and Patrick take a journey that she could never have imagined. In this novel, a woman encounters the ghost of a boy she knew in childhood, and the experience changes her life forever.
