A dying drug kingpin enslaved to the memory of his dead wife; a young woman torn between her promising future and the hardscrabble world she grew up in; a mother willing to do anything to fuel her addiction to pills; and her youngest son, searching for an answer behind his brother's disappearance - these are just some of the unforgettable characters that populate Ghosting, Kirby Gann's lush and lyrical novel of family, community, and the ties that can both bond and betray.
