To Drink Coffee with a Ghost: Volume 2

Amanda Lovelace

Goodreads Choice Award-winning poet USA TODAY bestselling author

"You cannot have a funeral for your mother without also having a funeral for yourself." This poignant poetry collection poses the ever-lingering question: What happens when someone dies before they're able to redeem themselves?

In to drink coffee with a ghost, bestselling and award-winning poetess Amanda Lovelace unravels the memory of the complicated relationship she had with her now-deceased mother. A haunting and intimate exploration of grief, loss, and self-reclamation, this is the evocative finale to her illustrated duology, "things that h(a)unt."

With her signature blend of vulnerability, lyricism, and quiet strength, Lovelace invites readers into a space both tender and unsettling--where mourning becomes a mirror, and healing demands both honesty and courage.

A profound, emotional account of toxic family relationships, survival, and recovery, this haunting book will resonate with all who seek authentic, honest processing of trauma.
