If You Tame Me By Kathie Giorgio is a smart and witty story of self-discovery, evolution, love, and spiced with a helpful, friendly ghost. The main character is Audrey. She turns 55 at the start of the story and laments about never having married or even having a special someone in her life. “What’s going on with you tomorrow night?” Annabel said. “There, on the stoop, he considered. He was driving, but Audrey lived next door. Should he drive his car from his driveway to hers and then pick her up? Or should he walk to her door, then escort her here to his car?” Susan was his second wife, and though she is dead, her ghost plays a pivotal role in the story. He can see her, and eventually, he feels her presence as if she was really alive. Susan hates Theresa, and perhaps that hatred was the power that caused her to return and guide Frank from the beyond.
