THE GHOST'S CHILD

Caroline Lee delivers Hartnett's lyrical rhythms and dreamy imagery as she tells the story of 75-year-old Maddy, who returns home one day to find a young boy waiting for her. A boy who hungers for story, he aids her in remembering her past, which is misted with time but still clear in emotional power. Lee's solid, steady reading gives reality to Maddy's gossamer fable. Maddy tells of growing up--of her imaginary best friend and of being taken on a cruise with her father. During that experience she discovers the most beautiful thing in the world--being loved by a feral man of the sea who is more spirit than human.
