A Girl Named Ghost

The story of my birth was both mystery and tragedy.

Ghost Grace White died the day she was born. Though revived by doctors, no one could rescue her fragile mother from the grip of psychosis. Raised by her Grandma June, Ghost heard countless stories about the mother she never knew and the life she lived before being institutionalized. Now twenty-six, Ghost fears a genetic curse will one day usurp her own sanity.

That's when a spectral man in a black fedora appears. Repeatedly.

After losing one child to mental illness, Juniper "June" White has vowed to never lose another. Determined to protect her granddaughter at all costs, she is hellbent on ensuring love and harmony are all that Ghost ever knows.

Then, Ghost demands to meet her mother.

When decades of betrayal and deceit are discovered in a hidden suitcase full of letters, Ghost and Juniper quickly realize the deadly price of uncovering the truth. And as the hatted man continues to materialize with gruesome revelations about her family, Ghost has no idea who to trust-especially if she can't trust her own mind.

A Girl Named Ghost is a psychological thriller about a woman struggling with her family's dark past while navigating her potentially unstable mind. The story is told from the dual perspectives of Ghost and her grandmother, Juniper.
