I AM THE GHOST IN YOUR HOME

Mar Romasco-Moore

Pie is the ghost in your house. She is not dead. She is invisible.
What she looks like changes depending on what is behind her. She is a girl of glass. A girl who is a window. If she stands in front of floral wallpaper, she is full of roses. For Pie's entire life it's been her and her mother. Just the two of them, traveling across America. They have slept in trains, in mattress stores, and on the bare ground. They have probably slept in your house. But Pie is lonely. And now, at seventeen, her mother has given her a gift: the choice of the next city they will go to. And Pie knows exactly where she wants to go. Pittsburgh, where she fell in love with a girl she plans to find once again. And this time she will reveal herself. Only, how can anyone love an invisible girl? A magnificent story of love, and friendship, and learning to see yourself in a world based on appearances, I AM THE GHOST IN YOUR HOUSE is a brilliant reflection on how much more there is to our world than meets the eye. Mar Romasco-Moore is the author of the novels I Am the Ghost in Your House (forthcoming) and Some Kind of Animal, as well as Ghostographs, an interconnected collection of flash fiction inspired by vintage photographs. Her stories have appeared or are forthcoming in Lightspeed, Fireside, DIAGRAM, Hobart, Interfictions, Kaleidotrope, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, and the anthology Women Destroy Science Fiction. She is a graduate of the Clarion West Writer's Workshop and has an MFA from Southern Illinois University. She teaches writing at Columbus College of Art and Design.

This is a provocative, compassionate examination of how we beg to be seen for who we truly are and yet too often see ourselves according to everyone else's viewpoint.

Compelling... Teens will relate to Pie's deep sense of relief at being seen and loved, as she truly is.
