Description
Ghost Mountain is a mountain that appeared yesterday, changing the lives of the local people; the town drunk, a retired teacher and her dog, a young soul and his wife, an old soul.
It is a story about all that is unmistakenly present yet never truly fathomable in our lives.
A captivating modern fable from the international bestselling author of Leonard and Hungry Paul
