Giving Up the Ghost: A Daughter’s Memoir

by Samantha Rose

2025 · Paperback, eBook

Bestselling ghostwriter Samantha Rose steps out of the shadows to unravel the mystery of her mother’s suicide. As her mother seems to return ‘from beyond’ to explain her choice, this raw, darkly funny memoir explores mental health, mother-daughter love, and writing forward after loss.

Why it’s here: At its center is an older mother’s life and death, and a daughter’s reckoning with the woman she thought she knew. (Sensitive: suicide.)
