An eerie and heart-wrenching tale great for fans of classic ghost stories.

[Amber Kestner · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm not sure how to mark this book. I wish it was longer though to know the main character whomever it is and to see who Nan was. I'm a curious reader, I love stories with a lot longer passage. I can say this if you need a quick read. Go for this one. I can't wait to read what is next from Hayden. A story that is enjoyable and heartbreaking.

Hayden's ghost story is a touching tale of grief and how its lasting effects can become too much to bear. Thoughtfully written, this one will tug at the heart strings.
