This creative graphic memoir tells the story of two brothers and their mother navigating the grief process after losing their dad (and husband) to cancer. Grief isn’t linear, and the characters (and extended family) all process the death differently. The titular ghost is only visible to Alex, and their relationship is beautiful, showing that death doesn’t have to be the end.
