The Abbot's Ghost Louisa May Alcott

This novella, The Abbott's Ghost, is another hidden gem written by Louisa May Alcott. Maurice Treherne saved his cousin Jasper's life after a misadventure in the water, and was made a cripple because of it. Jasper of course is forever grateful, but due to a small faux pas does a poor way of showing it. Maurice is in love with his cousin Octativa but due to his circumstances, Octavia's mother puts a wrench in any happiness as her daughter should and could do better. In the end, a ghost story comes true, paving the way for the couple's future. - Source: Whitney (First Impressions Reviews) - Goodreads
