The Hand I Fan with

The Hand I Fan with

by TinaMcElroyAnsa (Author)

Synopsis

As a child growing up in rural Georgia Lena McPherson was different - she was able to see spirits. Now a young woman and running her late father's bar, she mothers the motley crew of winos, prostitutes and shoplifters who have frequented it since her childhood, but she is lonely. Until, after finding a cache of old papers, she detects a ghostly presence: male, curious and interesting. The fragility of modern relationships is lyrically captured in this powerful and sensuous novel, the sequel to Ansa's acclaimed debut, Baby of the Family.
