A different kind of ghost story.
After a near fatal accident, a troubled young man grapples with missing memories while confronting past struggles that are all too clear-his relationship troubles, neurodivergence, and dismay with the lack of spirituality in religion. In an ominous small town he encounters a ghost-like child who shows him visions he comes to believe hold the connection between these disparate elements. Will he find the answers he seeks, or will the death he narrowly escaped catch up with him?
This short novel, set in Florida at the turn of the millennium, is a beguiling and mysterious story as well as a treatise on facing past trauma and uncovering true spirituality amidst a sea of dogma... will make you think, and maybe question beliefs you didn't know you had.
