The Ghost Mom's Guide to the Afterlife

"Tess is a professional mother. Not just because she spends her days caring for her teenager and toddler-all organic food! The best school! Constant supervision!-but because she's made a career of writing parenting books, most recently a defense of helicopter moms that the internet greeted with a giant snort of derision. But when Tess dies in a freak accident, swept away by a rogue wave, she can't stand to leave her children behind. Instead, Tess remains on earth as a ghost, determined to protect her family from everything, processed sugar to overdue homework. Together with a support group of other ghost moms, a motley crew that includes an over-sharing succubus, a hollow-eyed water wraith, and their chain-smoking ghost nun sponsor, Tess learns the rules of haunting (writing in the steam of bathroom mirrors: Easy! Possessing the living: Hard!) and begins to hone her spectral powers. But when her husband hires a new babysitter, a pretty twenty-something named Rosie with dangerous secrets of her own, Tess must move heaven and earth to save her family.
