In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "A man is not completely born until he is dead."
Emberlin Avery, bright, athletic and filled with all the potential of youth, looks upon her own empty body, a separation created by her recent, unfortunate, and untimely death and wonders, "Does anyone choose to die?"
Understanding that she is dead, but not understanding what death is, Emberlin leaves her body and ascends to Paradise Holding, a place where, even in death, adventures may be had, sorrows may come, and surprises may delight. Learning to live, even if one is dead, may be the hardest thing she will have to do in her life.
I absolutely devoured this incredible book! What a breath of fresh air. This book explores the eternal nature of relationships with family and friends...through a fictional young woman who falls off a mountain cliff and passes to the next phase of life. I don't want to say anymore to prevent spoilers. But I highly recommend this book to anyone who wonders about the eternal nature of our souls and relationships. A definite feel good book. I can't believe this is the author's first book. Please Kristen write more books soon!
