One day Jodee Warren vanishes. She leaves no trace and no one to remember her, not even her family seems to remember. Jodee Warren was one of those people; quiet and polite, forever in the background able to disappear long before anyone even noticed they were gone. Jodee Warren has lived her whole life as a ghost.
