Sam Whitaker never believed in ghosts.

Then he witnessed his neighbor’s murder.

Moments later, trying to save her, he lost his own life.

But death did not take him far.

Unable to leave the home he loved, Sam could only watch as his husband and children struggled to move forward—and the man responsible continued living next door.

Trapped between the living and the dead, Sam became the only witness to a murder no one else knew had happened.

And somehow, he had to make the living hear him.

María remembers Jennie as the friend who was always there.

Through scraped knees and schoolyard troubles, summer afternoons and frightening storms, Jennie was beside her—the kind of friend who somehow knew when María needed her most.

Years later, while grieving the loss of her grandfather, María finds herself returning to those childhood memories and to the friend she never really forgot.

But memory is a complicated thing.

As the past begins to come back into focus, María discovers that everyone remembers Jennie.

Just not quite the way María does.

Jennie is a tender story about childhood, grief, memory, and the friendships that stay with us long after we think they’re gone.
