A GOOD DAUGHTER’S GHOST
LAUNCHING October 6, 2026
The life you long for may be the one that destroys you.
Sixteen-year-old Rachel Bei comes from a family of mediums and spiritual practitioners—and she could not care less.
Yes, there was that time she thought she saw her beloved wàipó not long after her death. But that was back in fifth grade, and grief does funny things to people. Now Rachel isn’t just a skeptic; she’s embarrassed by her mom’s beliefs.
That’s one reason babysitting for the Morin family is so appealing. Their immaculate house and home-cooked dinners feel like an escape from Rachel’s messy life with her mom.
The Morins may be moving through grief of their own, but Rachel is impressed by how normal they seem. At least until their daughter Blythe tells Rachel she’s been speaking to her dead sister Maddie…
And Maddie’s ghost does not want Rachel in the house.
