Produktinformationen zu „The Company of Ghosts (ePub)“

The Company of Ghosts is a lyrical story about memories gathering and reassembling as a family is forced to navigate a sometimes puzzling and cruel healthcare system and is reconfigured by loss. It is also a meditation about how we carry with us our experiences with those who--for better and very much worse--cross our paths in a crisis. Compassionate strangers, callous physicians, and infuriating bureaucrats. New and lifelong friends. Forebears we have known only through artwork or cryptic asides. Empathic rescue beagles.

It is also a love letter to a husband and children and friends, weaving together the stories we steward about those we never completely lose. A last taste of lemon, a fly ball, or a penny flattened on railroad tracks, can capture decades of friendship and improbable hope, and become a portal to our pasts and our children's hoped-for futures.

Autoren-Porträt von Stephanie Glennon

Author Stephanie Martin Glennon was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and migrated south for college, where she met her husband Jim. They returned to the Boston area for graduate school. Jim trained in internal medicine, and Stephanie began her career as a prosecutor in the Commonwealth's County of Presidents. They lived in Dorchester and began their family, later moving to New Hampshire, where Jim became Exeter Hospital's first Chief Medical Officer and practiced as an internist. In addition to her legal writing, Stephanie writes a blog, "Love in the Spaces," and has spoken at hospitals throughout New England about compassionate care. Her story, "It's OK if you Meet Someone," appeared in The New York Times, and she appeared onstage at Boston's Shubert Theater to tell a Moth Radio audience her family's story about "Coming Home." Her first novel, Watching the Detectives, was published in 2022. She is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School.
