Gracie's Ghost - The Haunting: The Patterson Chronicles

A young man comes of age when he is swept up by three uncontrollable forces: a government plunging headlong into war; the power of his first true love, and his own desperate need for control when there is none in his life at all. All of it leads him into an accidental spiritual quest, a funny romantic tragedy, and behind-the-scenes story of the U.S.S. Hornet aircraft carrier and the Apollo 11 recovery operations of July, 1969.
