EVERY LIFE IS A GHOST STORY

 THE GHOSTS OF WASHINGTON STREET

Jack Vaughan’s life is a journey. It begins with a front porch wrestling match, continues to his quick revenge against a man who tries stealing his ice cream—Jack Vaughan is learning to stand up for himself. He is also learning about the magic of brotherhood, the honor in mischief, and where certain lines can be drawn. He’s a peeping tom and a bully—and a sometimes hero in the eyes of his brother and friends. An artist and thief—he is becoming the kind of man who cares about the subtle differences here. The Ghosts of Washington Street follows Jack from the classroom to the playground, from the baseball diamond to the buses behind the football field, from the riverbanks of his hometown to his first college party—into the lives and minds of his family and friends, and into a department store stairwell, where one man’s theory on emergencies is put to the test.

Every life is a ghost story . . . especially if the lives we live offer up moments that not only haunt us, but also illuminate the roadways ahead. Here is a nostalgic look back, and a daring look forward . . .
