A Vast, Untethered Ocean by RD Pires

Ollie died five years ago, but his lingering ghost makes moving on difficult.

Haunted by his late husband’s spirit, Brooklyn has become increasingly disturbed and teeters on the brink of suicide. But as a last attempt at revitalization, he decides to drive their beloved Ford Ranger to the place where they met, hoping that retracing their life together will somehow free him from Ollie’s ghost.

Along the road, Brooklyn meets the free-spirited Zinnia, feisty Dahlia, and a dreamer named Aven who remind him about what it means to keep living and challenge his views on what awaits him at the end of his drive.

A Vast, Untethered Ocean is a contemporary and poignant novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and how we deal with devastating loss.
