Lady, Will You Hear Me? is a ghost story, a memoir, and a historical mystery; a search for proof of a ghost's existence and his experiences during his life. A practicing psychic medium, the author received a pleading message for help from the ghost.

Seventeen-year-old Joe Tripp enlisted as a Union Army soldier during the Civil War. His tale was one of horrific experiences, trauma, and death on the battlefields of Virginia.

After returning home, he suffered nightmares and "soldier's heart," the term for PTSD during the Civil War, to the point he decided taking his own life was preferable to the hell he endured every waking minute. At the very last moment, he had a change of heart, but too late, and his death became an agonizing accident.

Since he left no note of his plan or destination that day, there was no one who would know where to look for him. His remains lay where he fell for years, until discovered by a police detective.

By then, there was only an unidentified skeleton to be buried in an unmarked grave. Lady, Will You Hear Me? follows the authors efforts to research and prove that the ghost of Joe Tripp existed as a living person, with the hope he could heal and find peace.

In his words - Will you make sure they all know? I want to be sure that they finally know what happened. Lady, will you tell my story?.
