2018 New Apple Book Awards: YOUNG ADULT INSPIRATIONAL

SOLO MEDALIST WINNER

The Ghost Years

by Mutch Katsonga

Sometimes our simplest wishes can be the most difficult to attain. Jarring and brutally honest, from its immersive beginning right through to its startling, unpredictable conclusion. A young man's attempt to pick up the pieces and start over only to be presented with greater obstacles than he could ever have envisioned. Through visceral first-person accounts and stark, vivid imagery, the story chronicles the obstacles of depression, drug addiction, and the trials of homelessness that he endures on his path to self-discovery. "This is the work of a sensitive poet who molds language as though on a potter’s wheel that results in unspeakably beautiful art."--- San Francisco Review Of Books
