In 'Seeing Ghosts,' Kat Chow confronts an intimately personal subject: the shadow of death that lingered over her life. Hauntingly compelled by thoughts of her parents' mortality, she is unexpectedly thrust into grief when her mother passes away. Chow delivers a heartrendingly sincere narrative that weaves the journey of her Chinese American family through generations, from their roots in China and Hong Kong to their lives in Cuba and America. This memoir is not just the story of a family's physical move across continents, but also the spiritual voyage through loss. As Chow questions the potential of writing to act as an act of preservation or a form of exorcism, she offers a thoughtful exploration of identity and the indelible ways in which grief reshapes us.
