Kaylee's Ghost

by Rochelle Shapiro

Overview

Grandmother Miriam, thrilled that her granddaughter, Violet, seems to be psychic, wants nothing more than the chance to mentor her way her own Russian grandmother, Bubbie, had done with her. But Cara, Miriam’s daughter, a modern businesswoman who remembers all too well the downside of living with her psychic mother, digs in her heels. As things become more fractious in the family, Violet, a brilliant and sensitive child, is torn between her mother and grandmother, until Miriam’s gift backfires, bringing terrible danger to those she loves. Can Miriam put things right in time, or is it already too late? A mesmerizing story about life here on Earth and after we’ve passed on, Kaylee’s Ghost is also a domestic drama spanning five generations, a tale about forgiveness, letting go and discovering who we are meant to be, no matter how unusual.

Charming, warm and hilariously funny, Shapiro's book looks at the family ties that bind and sometimes tie us in knots with grace and aplomb. A real-life psychic, she paints an unforgettable picture of a wife and mother who inherited her "bubbie's" gift. Filled with characters so memorable, you expect them to come to dinner. -- Dana Kennedy, MSNBC correspondent and New York Times contributing writer

"A mother's love--especially when she's a psychic--can be both a gift and a curse. In her endlessly charming novel, Rochelle Jewel Shapiro reveals how far we'll go to protect our children, even as we're watching them leave. Whip-smart, funny, and all-too-relatable, Kaylee's Ghost will stay with you long after you've turned the last page."
