A Bit About the Book
When I was talking to beta readers about the book, I called it by “everything bagel” book, because it packs a lot of different elements. It is:
- A YA (young adult) book
- A coming of age story
- A love story
- A ghost story
- A murder mystery
- A cancer kid story
The story takes place in 1977 in Cedar City, Utah. Even though it’s in the same world as Shuffled Off and Drawing the Dead, the book is stand-alone (kind of has to be since it’s 1977).
The Blurb
A Novel of… Love, Life, & Family
A Boy. Sixteen-year-old Aaron Wade. With his “second strike” with leukemia in remission and his health restored, the summer of 1977 feels like a turning point… until he starts to see a ghost in the Cedar City, Utah graveyard.
A Girl. Seventeen-year-old Helena Monfort. She grew up too early, the tough girl with a bad reputation that just needs a friend.
A Ghost: Lionel Malak. A simple man, he doesn’t understand why someone would murder him, but longs for justice so his spirit can rest.
After Helena escapes a date gone bad, a boy, a girl, and a ghost meet in the Cedar City graveyard under the stars. A chance meeting turns into a friendship, a murder investigation, and an exploration of life, death, friendship, and family you will never forget.
From the creative mind of Robert J. McCarter, author of Shuffled Off, comes a novel of love, life, and family (with a ghost).

What Early Readers Are Saying
“A wonderful coming of age story…”
“It was a rollercoaster of emotions through the whole thing…”
“The characters will quickly find their way into your heart and stay there…”
“A book that makes you fall in love with every character–their strengths, weaknesses, their stories, their ‘skeletons in the closet,’ their humanity.”
