    About this ebook

    Do you believe in ghosts? Joseph Barnett didn’t until he became a school custodian in a midlife career change. Joe had no idea that his first assignment, working nights in a school, he’d be forced to confront his darkest fears. "Ghosts are part of my story," says Joe. "I believe in them; I have no choice. After you’ve seen one ghost, you can go back and rationalize it. But after you’ve looked a couple in the eye like I have, you believe. I know what I saw and heard. Here’s something else I know: there are many ways to be haunted, and not all of my ghosts were dead. That’s the other part of my story. It took almost becoming a ghost myself for me to see my life differently. I believe in ghosts, and I believe in myself. But back when this all started, I was just a guy trying to make a living."

      I was drawn to this book with the talk of ghosts in the title. I was not aware that this was a true story before I agreed to read it. After I started reading the book I was instantly drawn to the stories. While there are ghosts in the book this was not a haunted house type book. It was a memoir of Joseph’s life. The story was about his alcoholic mother and wife who also suffered from the same addiction. Joseph had to work hard for every dollar he had, and often that was the only dollar in his pocket.I enjoyed the honesty of the book and felt it would help people who feel there was no way out of a bad situation. Joseph had dealt with many issues in his life but his strength that I believe he didn’t even know he had, pulled him through. I would love to hear more stories of his life before his spirit decides to take that final exit. A great read!! This book was received for the purpose of an honest review.Rating: 4.5Heat rating: SweetReviewed By: RaeCourtesy Of My Book Addiction And More
