What to expect
Shattered and untethered, Shannon set out on a journey to make sense of her loss. From Oswiecim, Poland (the site of Auschwitz) to war-torn Israel, shelled-out Bosnia, poverty-stricken Romania, and finally to Barcelona, where she first met Sean years before, Shannon charts a path through sorrow towards recovery.

Critics Review
-
A heartbreaking story about the randomness of tragedy told with great courage and tenacity
Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for Time Being -
Like Cheryl Strayed’s Wild, Fowler makes us feel that a hero’s journey is our only hope for surviving grief. Traveling with Ghosts is a brave and necessary record of love, as beautiful as it is heart-breaking
Ann Patchett, author of Bel Canto and State of Wonder -
A cross between H is for Hawk and Wild, this beautifully written tale follows Fowler’s travels through Eastern Europe after her fiance was killed by a jellyfish
Stylist -
A rich and absorbing memoir that shows the reader what it feels like to lose your future in a matter of seconds in a faraway land . . . Shannon learns to travel on, to get back in the ocean and to build a new life
The Times -
Gloriously rendered, beautifully written, but utterly devastating … an intimate and inspiring experience . . . balm to the soul, as well as being a necessary witness account of the blackest depths of grief
Observer -
[A] courageous memoir of love and loss… compelling.
