Sometimes our simplest wishes can be the most difficult to attain. Jarring and brutally honest, from its immersive beginning right through to its startling, unpredictable conclusion. A young man's attempt to pick up the pieces and start over only to be presented with greater obstacles than he could ever have envisioned.

He is taken to unimaginable and devastating places, both physically and psychologically. How much control does he really have over his fate? The Ghost Years goes deep beneath the surface through unflinching plot twists and hauntingly poetic prose
