A Good Daughter’s Ghost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toronto: Annick Press, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sixteen-year-old Rachel Bei comes from a family of mediums and spiritual practitioners\u2015and she could not care less. Yes, there was that time she thought she saw her beloved w\u00e0ip\u00f3 not long after her death. But that was back in fifth grade, and grief does funny things to people. Now Rachel isn\u2019t just a skeptic; she\u2019s embarrassed by her mom\u2019s beliefs. That\u2019s one reason babysitting for the Morin family is so appealing. Their immaculate house and home-cooked dinners feel like an escape from Rachel\u2019s messier life with her mom. The Morins may be moving through grief of their own, but Rachel is impressed by the sense of normalcy they\u2019ve maintained for their daughter, Blythe . . . at least until Blythe tells Rachel she\u2019s been speaking to her dead sister Maddie, and her ghost does not want Rachel in the house.

Drawing on Chinese folklore and suffused with a creeping dread that builds to a gruesome climax, this darkly immersive novel confronts family secrets, the stunning audacity of whiteness, and the ghosts we carry with us.
