These Ghosts Are Family went in a direction I never suspected. While I was expecting a story of a man who abandoned one life for another, I ended up finding a network of collective tales that brought all the characters together in an organic fashion that was dark, beautiful, chaotic, & grieving.

I don’t hand out many five stars, but this book was beautifully written and a unique read unlike any I’ve come across.
