The After Wife

 

By Gigi Levangie Grazer


Hannah was living her best life. When everything changed. The love of her life, John, was suddenly gone. Killed by a hit-and-run driver. Now she is all alone, except for their young daughter, Ellie. Well, not quite all alone. Because now her life is filled with ghosts that only she and Ellie can perceive. 

So here's Hannah trying to cope with widowhood and single parentage and unpaid bills and the mortgage and the fact that John failed to pay the premium on his life insurance. And here's an endless stream of ghosts with unfinished business who have urgent messages for the people they left behind.


This was a really good read. The beginning was sad and heartbreaking. And Hannah's struggle to stay strong for her little girl and try to keep hearth and home together was very touching. But things soon perk up when the ghosts start to appear and Hannah begins to pass on the messages the ghosts are so anxious for their friends and families receive. Really enjoyed this story.
