Photographs of Emily and other stories

"A ghost, perhaps, is not the spirit of someone who died, it's the echo of someone who thought they'd lived."

It's been ten years since Emily lost her life in a tragic accident. For Zeb, that's meant ten years of crushing guilt and counselling to overcome the image of his girlfriend dying in front of him because of a decision he made.

When multiple witnesses report seeing a ghostly figure in the churchyard where it happened, her family decides to host a memorial to soothe Emily's restless spirit. Zeb cautiously returns to his estranged hometown for the service, hoping to establish the truth about these sightings.

Unforeseen circumstances compel him to stay longer than planned, and even though he remains sceptical, he finds himself drawn to the churchyard, seeking the elusive ghost.

Lives are shattered, grief is stark, and new futures are forged from the embers.

The quietly suspenseful and atmospheric stories in this collection weave heartbreak and grief with resilience and serenity. Perfect for fans of Susan Hill, J.T. Croft, and Wendy Webb.
