Book Overview

Goodreads Choice Award-winning poet USA TODAY bestselling author

"You cannot have a funeral for your mother without also having a funeral for yourself." This poignant poetry collection poses the ever-lingering question: What happens when someone dies before they're able to redeem themselves?

In to drink coffee with a ghost, bestselling and award-winning poetess Amanda Lovelace unravels the memory of the complicated relationship she had with her now-deceased mother. A haunting and intimate exploration of grief, loss, and self-reclamation, this is the evocative finale to her illustrated duology, "things that h(a)unt."

With her signature blend of vulnerability, lyricism, and quiet strength, Lovelace invites readers into a space both tender and unsettling--where mourning becomes a mirror, and healing demands both honesty and courage.

A profound, emotional account of toxic family relationships, survival, and recovery, this haunting book will resonate with all who seek authentic, honest processing of trauma.

Customer Reviews

I will read everything she writes.

This book did not resonate with me as much as thier others have. It is great for people who are dealing or have dealt with the death of a parent.
