Never the Hope Itself: Love and Ghosts in Latin America and Haiti Gerry Hadden Original edition

NEVER THE HOPE ITSELF: Love and Ghosts in Latin America and Haiti, is the memoir of a young aspiring Buddhist monk who hangs up his prayer beads to become a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio.  Instead of a sedentary life contemplating the mind, he gets his mind blown away.  By a world filled with ghosts.  Literally.  They haunt his crypt-like home in Mexico City.  As he come to terms with the beings he cannot see he falls in love with a woman he can. And the world that he long considered turned on its head gets turned for real.
