About the book:
Persephone Green doesn’t have a heartbeat. In a country where the dead has eerily lurked among the living for nearly two decades, even she knows its absence is not normal.
In place of her heart, something inhuman stirs, an ancient ocean she discovers twinned in the chest of Sebastian, the charmingly bizarre new student. When they’re together, they attract ghosts like a beacon, and when they kiss, white flowers bloom in the dead, autumn ground.
To exhume the truth, Persephone and Bas travel across the Midwest to the deserted facility where it all began. Pursued across state lines by writhing swarms of ghosts, militant government agents, and—maybe worst of all—her mother, they unspool a tangled web of conspiracies. At its center: a divine and devastating truth.
Forced to choose between an imperfect life that’s wholly hers or an otherworldly responsibility older than time, the echoes of Persephone's decision will alter the fates of all souls—living and dead—forever.
About the author:
Cynthia Prith is a fantasy author working on becoming a swamp hag in the backwoods of Pennsylvania. She splits her time between writing in her cozy hobbit hole and wandering unique roadside attractions and vintage thrift stores in search of magical curios. All Her Ghosts is her young adult debut. She is also the author of the adult series, The Uncivil Wars.
About the conversation partners:
Jess Mey is a writer and member of the late-ADHD-diagnosis club. She has a degree in journalism and public relations from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Jess left her job as a marketing copywriter in 2017 to be a stay-at-home mom, freelancing in her spare time (when she had a break from reading “The Little Blue Truck” to her son for the 238th time). When she’s not writing or reading, you can find her at the thrift store, planning a vacation, or playing The Sims 4, all while drinking iced coffee, no matter the season. Jess lives in the Pittsburgh suburbs with her husband, two children, and their corgi, Clementine.
