Ghosts - Paperback

by Becky Bronson (Author)

Journalist Emiline Jackson writes under the pen name of her childhood friend, Libby Lewis. Libby was killed at age 10 by a drive-by shooting that Em witnessed. Em writes about controversial social issues, yet early in her career, she avoids writing about gun control, as it is too close for comfort. When a surge of mass shootings eventually pushes her to confront gun violence in her work, the new owners of the paper she writes for shut her down, thwarting her efforts. Guided by the voice of her deceased friend Libby, Em seeks the truth about her past and discovers a hidden world of ghost guns. With the support of her community, she takes on the dangerous trade, uncovering corruption along the way. As tensions rise, Em confronts her brother's involvement and the sinister forces protecting the illicit business. In a climactic showdown, justice prevails, and Em finds her voice, leaving a legacy of courage and change.
