Jason Walker is a child star turned teen heartthrob turned reluctant B-movie regular who's sick of his failing career. So he gives up Hollywood for northern Idaho, far away from the press, the drama of LA, and the best friend he's secretly been in love with for years.

There's only one problem with his new life: a strange young man only he can see is haunting his guesthouse. Except Benjamin Ward isn't a ghost. He's a man caught out of time, trapped since the Civil War in a magical prison where he can only watch the lives of those around him. He's also sweet, funny, and cute as hell, with an affinity for cheesy '80s TV shows. And he's thrilled to finally have someone to talk to.

But Jason quickly discovers that spending all his time with a man nobody else can see or hear isn't without its problems — especially when the tabloids find him again and make him front-page news. The local sheriff thinks he's on drugs, and his best friend thinks he's crazy. But Jason knows he hasn't lost his mind. Too bad he can't say the same thing about his heart.

      Sexton (Lost Along the Way) adds an intriguing paranormal element to this middling contemporary romance. Washed-up child star Jason Walker escapes to Coeur d’Alene, Id., to evade
      the paparazzi, who track his every move. He finds a snow globe in his garage that turns out to be haunted by Benjamin Ward. Ben, born in 1840, was trapped in the globe by his sister to keep him out of the Civil War, and then the globe was stolen. Despite the enormous difficulties posed by Ben’s undying, entrapped state, Jason and Ben fall for one another quickly. However, the other people in Jason’s life are troubled when they notice him speaking to someone invisible and are understandably worried about the media finding out and thinking he’s lost his mind. Sexton’s writing is strong on characterization and the magic of the snow globe, but unconvincing about either Hollywood or the Civil War. The unevenness is frustrating, though the overall conceit provides some pleasure.
