Book blurb...

Cancer is an ugly word. Even though several years have passed, Isla’s never gotten over the death of her eleven-year-old daughter, Rory. The resulting grief killed her marriage and her teaching career at the same time, and for a while she thought the pain would kill her also. But Isla has found a new hope to keep her going. She’s no longer alone—Rory has returned. Hoping to rebuild their lives, Isla leaves New York City and travels back home to Harmony Lake, Alberta, with her daughter’s spirit beside her. Between North & Prior uses its ghostly premise to explore grief, identity, and the difficulty of moving forward when the dead remain present.
