Summary:
"A lucid exploration of amnesia, selfhood, and who is left behind
when
the past is obliterated. Tara Sidhoo Fraser is thirty-one years old
when
a rare mutation in her brain causes a
stroke
. Awakening after surgery with no memory of her previous life, she attempts to piece it all back together through a haze of amnesia. Yet, as memories do begin to surface, they are seen through someone else's eyes - the person whose body she stole, whom she calls
Ghost
. Fighting to stabilize her existence, Tara struggles with the gulf between who she was and who she is now, while constantly battling and paying penance to
Ghost
. She meets Jude, who is also contending with their identity, the gap between who they are and who they present to the world. As Jude's transition progresses and they begin testosterone injections, Tara's conflict with
Ghost
heightens.
Ghost
's voice becomes stronger, and memories, buried in the body they now share, of hospital visits, old desires, and her ex threaten Tara's new relationship. She burrows deeper into the mystery of who she once was, recognizing the need to fuse herself and
Ghost
into one.
When
My
Ghost
Sings
is a lyrical
memoir
of healing, a farewell letter, and a reclamation of selfhood."--Publisher.
