Non-Fiction Memoir
From the bestselling author of She’s Not There comes
another buoyant, unforgettable memoir—I’m Looking Through
You is about growing up in a haunted house...and making
peace with the ghosts that dwell in our hearts.
For
Jennifer Boylan, creaking stairs, fleeting images in the
mirror, and the remote whisper of human voices were everyday
events in the Pennsylvania house in which she grew up in the
1970s. But these weren’t the only specters beneath the roof
of the mansion known as the “Coffin House.” Jenny
herself—born James—lived in a haunted body, and both her
mysterious, diffident father and her wild, unpredictable
sister would soon become ghosts to Jenny as
well.
I’m Looking Through You is an engagingly
candid investigation of what it means to be “haunted.”
Looking back on the spirits who invaded her family home,
Boylan launches a full investigation with the help of a
group of earnest, if questionable, ghostbusters. Boylan also
examines the ways we find connections between the people we
once were and the people we become. With wit and eloquence,
Boylan shows us how love, forgiveness, and humor help us
find peace—with our ghosts, with our loved ones, and with
the uncanny boundaries, real and imagined, between men and
women.
