A Field Guide to Library Ghosts

Fiona Gordon is starting over. Unbeknownst to her, so is her roommate George Manchester, although he’s been dead for over a century.

After a painful divorce and years of disappointment, she’s trading the bustling streets of Philadelphia for the sleepy charm of Brentford, Connecticut. Taking a job as the Executive Director of the Wentworth Library, Fiona hopes to leave her past behind and rediscover herself.

She doesn’t realize that George Manchester, a dashing but irritable 19th-century gentleman, whose spirit is trapped in a portrait she owns, is going with her.
He’s desperate to reunite with his lost love, Rose, and to do that, he needs help from someone still living in the present day. But there’s a problem—he has to persuade Fiona he’s real.

As she adjusts to her new town and new friends, she must keep her fascination with George a secret or be thought eccentric, to say the least. When she discovers other people, including the local math professor, have secrets of their own, she understands that keeping things hidden isn’t always a good idea when you’re forming new relationships.

Searching for George’s Rose, organizing the centennial celebrations for the library, and trying to figure out a new friendship are almost overwhelming.

But Fiona and George come to realize that love, redemption, and perseverance can jump-start second chances that transcend even the boundaries of time.

Heartwarming, witty, and laced with supernatural intrigue, A Field Guide to Library Ghosts is a story of letting go, finding hope, and daring to believe in the impossible.
