Ghostly Embrace by Brenda Hurley
A ghostly story of redemption through the power of love.
Louis never felt the knife that killed him, or saw the blood that seeped into the wood of the bed he was lying on. Trapped there in the bed of his own design and making, Louis, a craftsman from the 18th century, must confront the fact that he is a ghost who will never be able to touch or feel the world as he once did.
As the years pass Louis struggles to deny his own anger and loneliness created by his death, leading him to haunt and petrify any one who owns his bed that keeps him captive.
However, this all changes when he meets two women who live in a very different century to the one he knew and by chance he finds a way to visit them through their dreams.
He finds Marina early in the 20th century and Katie, a modern girl of the 1970's.
Separately they are able to show him light in his life again.
