Death is a hard thing for anyone to deal with, especially a tragic death. After Wendy died during childbirth, her husband and daughter are haunted by a ghostly image of her. One that leaves them covered in marks and bruises.

My favorite part about this book was the symbolism. When someone dies, especially a new mother, that death can affect the relationship of the husband to the child for years to come.

This is definitely a different sort of story, but it’s worth a listen.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

3.5 stars!

Bill is a single father, raising his daughter on his own, since his wife died in childbirth. He's struggling, but he's doing okay. Until his dead wife starts comes back and keeps coming back, threatening the safety and sanity of himself and his daughter.

This is a dark tale. To be honest, I was a little confused regarding the nature of what was going on with Wendy, but after a second read of that section, it's clearer to me now.

In any case, I enjoyed the characters of Billy and his daughter, and I did care for them. I hoped that they would come out of this okay. Did they? You will have to read this and see for yourself. 3.5 stars for some pretty good writing and character building, and to paraphrase from the story, even if you don't know the meaning of the words they can still speak to your spirit.

I was provided a free copy of this story in exchange for an honest review. Just so you know. :)

Loved this extremely short novella! I don't often read these type of stories and I quickly read this one. It's a short read, so you can't really say much of it, other than it's amazing.
