Synopsis
American socialite Hugh, haunted by dreams of a silent house, becomes a ghost exploring themes of home and belonging.
Young American socialite Hugh is haunted by recurring dreams of a silent house shadowed in mystery. Slowly overcome by a premonition of living on the "other side," he turns to his close friends for advice. And then one day, a girl appears in his dream asking for help... A story about a man who becomes a ghost, which reaches for multiple deep themes about the nature of "home," where people go when they find it, and when they lose it. (Source: Glacier Bay Books)
