#immigrant narrative

It’s on IM Global TV’s website, so I guess I can talk about it now?

An adventure story set in late-19th-century San Francisco, [The Girl with Ghost Eyes] centers on a young immigrant woman with the ability to see and interact with the spirit world. Breaking the barriers set for women and immigrants, she contends with ghosts, gangsters, skeletons, and soul-stealers to protect her family and the larger community.
