Overview

A haunting tale of love and second chances The house on Fairlawn Street holds more than just memories-it's a crossroad between life and the afterlife. Birdie and Martin are spirited away from life too soon, and return from vacation to haunt their beloved home on Fairlawn Street. Sam does his best to deal with his grief while trying to sell the house and settle the estate. But with his parents still present in the house, he must also navigate between his mother's expectations and the desire to forge his own path. Enter Dee, the charming and ambitious love of Sam's life, whose surprise pregnancy turns their plans upside down. As they contemplate their future together - and the rising cost of Sam's cramped apartment - the logical choice is to move into the haunted house. But with Birdie and Martin's ethereal presence, the living is anything but easy. Birdie tries to steer her son's life from beyond the veil while grappling with her own spectral regrets, and Martin's ghost offers philosophical comments from the depths of his recliner. From a reluctant psychic sister to a séance gone awry and a meddling ex-girlfriend, this novella is a tapestry of life's unplanned moments, and the joy found in embracing them. As two urns of ashes watch over the living room, the living and the dead must learn to coexist in this tender tale of life and love. Peace Lilies: a Sweet Ghostly Novella is a heartwarming story that explores the bonds of family, the complexities of living, and the crazy notion that life might ever go according to plan.

"""The characters are clearly and subtly portrayed. Sam loves and grieves for his parents but now he has to sell their house with them in it! After participating vicariously in Sam's exasperation dealing with his dead mother and the sweet relationship he has with Deidre, or Dee (no, Birdie, the name is not a letter of the alphabet) we can begin to believe in the possibility of actual ghosts or spirits whom we, too, may have to contend with after our loved ones have passed away. Peace Lilies is both a fun and a meaningful read."" - Anna Holloway, author of ""Looking for Jazz: a Memoir About the Black College and Southern Town That Changed My Life"""
