Description: A Moving Story of Loss and Redemption Set against a Background of Jazz and Blues It's been a year since Casey's wife died, leaving him the youngest widower in Naples, Florida, and in the throes of a seemingly bottomless depression. He now lives only for nighttime, drinking to forget and listening to Ellington, Coltrane, and Davis. His friends have given up on him, and he's certainly given up on himself. That is, until Billie Holiday-or someone eerily reminiscent of her-drops into his life. She calls herself Eleanora, and while she may be the result of Casey's loneliness and drinking, there is no mistaking that beautiful, had-some-tough-times voice, so like Lady Day's. But no matter who she is, she soon becomes the one source of light in Casey's dark world, helping him to find solace, reenter the world, and rid himself of the guilt that has plagued him since his wife's death. Haunting and luminous, Billie's Ghost is a novel of hope, faith, and learning to move on.
