Like a Compass in Her Bones

More about the book

After spending her childhood traversing the country with her free-spirited mother, Emily has done a good job of giving her son a stable, rooted home on the Southside of Chicago. But as much as she tries to be "normal," Emily has one secret: she can see the souls of the recently dead, and even helps them cross to the other side in a place she refers to as the Tunnel of Souls. When she's called to help the dying soul of the father she never met, she realizes that maybe her definition of home has been wrong all along.
