Book excerpt: Death isn’t the end of love. Katie Newman, grief-stricken over losing her father, knows this. Every day, she hopes for some kind of resolution. Fate intercedes, not by supplying her father’s dearly departed spirit but that of a sixty-ish hippy who needs Katie’s help with unfinished business. While she might have wondered about the afterlife, it is suddenly thrust upon her in the form of Ollie Morris, a rather unique ghost. Ollie has been sent by Katie’s father to help him move on in hopes that she will be able to do the same. In exchange for spooking her unfaithful boyfriend out of her life, Ollie asks Katie to drive him to Colorado, and during the trip, they both realize that unfinished business, be it that of the living or the dead, rarely resolved as expected.
