"Thrilling, thoughtful, elegantly told. So much more than a ghost story." Cyrus Webb, CEO, Conversation Book Club& ; Do you believe in ghosts? Nor did Joseph Barnett until the winter he was fired from his career job and became a school custodian to make ends meet. The fact that the eighty-five-year-old school where he now worked was built near a cemetery had barely registered with Joe when he was assigned the graveyard shift. But soon, walking the dim halls alone at night, listening to the wind howl outside, Joe was confronted with a series of bizarre and terrifying occurrences.& ; It wasn't just the ghosts of the graveyard shift that haunted him. Once the child of a distant father and an alcoholic mother, now a man devastated by a failed marriage, fearful of succeeding as a single dad, and challenged by an overwhelming illness, Joe is haunted by his own personal ghosts.& ; The story of Joseph's challenges and triumphs emerges as an eloquent metaphor of ghosts, past and present, real and emotional, and how a man puts his beliefs about selfand ghoststo the test.& ; "This is truly inspirational work, a very special booka gift to any reader." Diane Bruno, CISION Media
