Did Heaven Begin At 2:27?: A Memoir About Signs From My Brother
"Life after loss just got a whole lot...livelier."
When Carolyn's larger-than-life brother, Bob, passed away unexpectedly, she braced herself for the silence. But Bob? He's not exactly the quiet type, and he found a way to get the last word-literally.
First, it was the divinely timed classic rock song. Then, it was a string of inside jokes that showed up in the most impossible how many bears can fit in a Prius? And that was just the beginning. From playful pranks to uncanny coincidences, Carolyn began to suspect her brother had found a way to keep the family banter alive-from the other side.
As she followed Bob's mischievously helpful trail of signs, Carolyn was pulled into a heartwarming journey of laughter, tears, and the unshakable bond between siblings. Along the way, she discovered that even in loss, love can transcend all boundaries-and that sometimes, the people we miss the most never truly leave.
Heartfelt, funny, and brimming with unexpected joy, Did Heaven Begin at 2:27? is a true story and a reminder that when it comes to family, some connections are simply unbreakable-no matter where life (or the afterlife) takes you.

This is a must-read for anyone whether they have faced an unexpected loss or not. It just reminds you of the power of family and friends and love and laughter and inside jokes and spontaneous nicknames and a sense of connection even to someone you maybe only knew as a fraternity alum. You can read this book in a few hours and I guarantee the time will be the best spent of your day. Maybe you’ll also start to see signs of Bob or others he has connected with who are trying to reach you! Definitely read this one!
