{"product_id":"the-company-of-ghosts-stephanie-martin-glennon-9798218037871","title":"The Company of Ghosts: A family memoir of grief, grace, and the love that surpasses measure","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter a family movie night, the author's husband confided that he had been having a mild but persistent \"ping\" of abdominal pain. By Monday, they learned he had inoperable pancreatic cancer, and he had become a full-time patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Company of Ghosts is a lyrical story about memories gathering and reassembling as a family is forced to navigate a sometimes puzzling and cruel healthcare system and is reconfigured by loss. It is also a meditation about how we carry with us our experiences with those who--for better and very much worse--cross our paths in a crisis. Compassionate strangers, callous physicians, and infuriating bureaucrats. New and lifelong friends. Forebears we have known only through artwork or cryptic asides. Empathic rescue beagles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also a love letter to a husband and children and friends, weaving together the stories we steward about those we never completely lose. A last taste of lemon, a fly ball, or a penny flattened on railroad tracks, can capture decades of friendship and improbable hope, and become a portal to our pasts and our children's hoped-for futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Martin Glennon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 821803787X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218037871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harborside Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d","brand":"Stephanie Martin Glennon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133009621247,"sku":"9798218037871","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bfa6f8e2-d703-472a-83be-7e4905d88bee.jpg?v=1687483563","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-company-of-ghosts-stephanie-martin-glennon-9798218037871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
