Synopsis

William Peter Blatty, the bestselling author and Oscar Award–winning screenwriter of The Exorcist, lived a charmed life among the elite stars of Hollywood. His son Peter, born over a decade after The Exorcist, grew from an apple-cheeked boy into an "imposing young man with a quick, warm smile." But when Peter died very suddenly from a rare disorder, Blatty's world turned upside down.



As he and his wife struggled through their unrelenting grief, a series of strange and supernatural events began occurring, and Blatty became convinced that Peter was sending messages from the afterlife.



A true and unabashedly personal story, Finding Peter will remind those in grief that our loved ones truly do live on.

eponymous-ey sentence: p9: All right, let me say it plainly: ever since his passing in 2006, our beloved son Peter has been giving me his mother almost unremitting evidence of his continuing, active, and unbounded existence and I intend to pass this evidence along to you, for the task of this book, i......more

Following the drift of the book I believe it was sheer providence of coming across it and having the pleasure of reading.
