MINNEAPOLIS, July 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The character Jacob Marley made his debut in the famous novel "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Marley was a ghost trapped wandering the earth for eternity with his heavy chains. In the new novel "Jacob Marley's Ghost" (published by Archway Publishing), author Michael Fridgen presents the life of a young Jacob Marley.
"Jacob Marley's Ghost" reveals Marley's childhood in London with his father and mother. When death comes close to his home, Marley is sent away, sold into slavery, and forced to work for a man in France. When faced with bullying and torment Marley must learn to survive his new life by choosing what kind of person he wants to become.
If Marley was a person who was doomed to walk the earth in death, then why was he a warning sign to Ebenezer Scrooge at the end of his life? This novel explores the idea that there is more to every person and their motives than may first appear.
