When I was eleven years old, I came home from school one day, and found a book lying on my bed titled- Audrey Rose. My mom had bought it for me because I was interested in reading about ghost stories, and I was always checking out books on the subject from my school library. I still have the original copy of the book, and have read it over a 100 times. I also saw the movie a dozen times. lol
When my sister Amy had her daughter, I begged her to name her Audrey. (and she did)*smile*
Although a novel, this story was inspired by actual events. The details are in the back of the book if anyone is interested in reading it.
"Audrey Rose is a novel written by Frank De Felitta. It was filmed in 1977 under the same title. The book also has a sequel entitled For Love of Audrey Rose.
When Elliot Hoover loses his wife and daughter, Audrey Rose, in a fiery car crash, his world explodes. To heal his mental anguish and claim some peace, he visits a psychic who reveals to him that his daughter has been reincarnated into Ivy Templeton, a young girl living in New York City. Desperate to reclaim anything from his daughter's past, he searches out Ivy, only to discover that the unbelievable is shockingly true--his daughter is back. Now, in an effort to save her life, Hoover must choose between two horrifying possibilities-leaving his daughter's soul in torment, or taking the life of the young girl in whom she now lives."
