Joie Lesin
August 2024

Burdened with her empathic gift, Elizabeth Reilly wants to be free of it and fit in with normal people. Nevertheless, when the spirit of an old man asks for her help, she travels across the country to help him return home. 

Gio Clemente is still angry with his father who abandoned him as a child. To help the father pass on, Elizabeth must persuade Gio to let go of his anger. Though he resents her intrusion, they are both stunned to find themselves fighting a profound attraction. Elizabeth can accept his headstrong brand of love, but can Gio accept her gift—and believe in her? 

Between The Pages 
Joie Lesin’s The Passenger was a captivating blend of romance, suspense, and emotional depth, set against the backdrop of the 1940s. From the first page, the story pulls you in and refuses to let go. The chemistry between Elizabeth and Gio was magnetic. Their connection unfolded with tension and tenderness. Lesin’s writing is immersive and evocative, painting a picturesque vineyard landscape, a touch of the supernatural, and emotionally charged scenes with equal finesse. With engaging characters, a suspenseful plot, and a heartfelt message, The Passenger is a beautifully written novel that explores what it means to heal, to connect, and to believe in something greater than oneself. A recommended must-read.
