Giving Up the Ghost
by Samantha Rose
You may never forget, but you can heal.
New York Times bestselling ghostwriter, Samantha Rose, steps out of the shadows to unravel the mystery surrounding her mother's suicide. What begins as a solitary journey of grief shifts form when her mother slips back from the darkness beyond to reconcile her irreversible choice. Raw, deeply revealing, and with resilient humor throughout, Giving Up the Ghost explores the layered complexity of mental health, the love between mothers and daughters, and how, in the aftermath of inconceivable loss, we can release our inner ghosts and write a new story for ourselves.
Giving Up the Ghost is a memoir about a ghostwriter who “ghosts” a ghost—beyond that interplay, the narrative reveals hidden truths—about her mother's surprising death and also, it shines a light on how Rose had become a ghost in her own life—hiding, shrinking, no longer speaking for herself. This awakening took center stage as the most significant theme in Rose's healing process and ultimately, Giving Up the Ghost encourages readers to similarly ask themselves: What does it mean to live in the shadows? Am I hiding? What am I reflecting to the world around me? Is it honest? What is the story I'm telling about my own life? And if I've lost my voice, or buried my truth in the shadows, am I ready to give up the ghost?
Editorial Reviews
“Samantha Rose's mastery of words is a gift—Giving Up the Ghost is an intimate, unfiltered, heart wrenching and, at times, hilarious account of a family story forever changed by suicide. In these confusing and increasingly lonely times for us all, Rose's memoir is a must read for anyone coping with grief and surviving loss.” —Eve Rodsky, author of the New York Times bestseller and Reese's Book Club pick, Fair Play
“A beautifully written and piercing reflection on grief, the bonds between mothers and daughters and the importance of finding your own voice. Rose's journey of resilience inspires us to dig deep for the answers that will set us free and that have the power to ripple outward and offer hope and healing to us all.” —Cathy Heller, podcast host and author of Abundant Ever After
“Heartbreaking, raw, honest, and inspiring... Samantha Rose may have just put herself out of business as a ghostwriter because she is anything but
