From the publisher:

Moving between lonely, rural New York and glimmering New Orleans, a woman searches for a sense of home. Her quest is shadowed by an impulsive early divorce and a betrayal that shattered her family of origin and left her mother homeless. In dream-like vignettes, The Haunt captures Liz Green's desire for belonging, grasped only in fleeting instances at restaurant tables. Comfort and inspiration come to her in flashes of unexpected beauty, passion, and heartbreak, as she learns to embrace her past decisions as fiercely her own.

Advanced praise:

“Liz Green’s The Haunt is a deep dive into what it means to love and to lose, to leave and to be left. In fragments and reflections that fit together like glass shards, Green creates a window into the circuitries of violence, loss, and longing that haunt relationships. Hers is a story of bonds that bring people together and mistakes that tear them apart. In prose that’s both lucid and lyrical, The Haunt invites us to ponder our own ghosts—the ones we wish will vanish, the ones we hope never leave us. Green’s examination of hurt, hope, and renewal teaches us that to recover is to strike a balance between living and ‘missing what is gone, a missing that will not stop.’” 

—Brian Phillip Whalen, author of Semiotic Love

“The Haunt reads like a dream but not a cozy dream that lulls you through the night, rather, a processing dream needed to sort through fraught family moments that have led you into your own fraught life. Liz Green pulls it all up and steps back, holding and examining each moment not only to understand what happened then, but what is happening now. A beautiful exploration of pain and confusion, and an author determined to find ways to heal.”

—Stephanie Austin, author of Something I Might Say
