When Chris, the main character of this novel, dies, he teeters between a majestic heaven and the depths of hell when he can’t let go of his life because of his wife’s descent into depression.

This is a love story about a spirit that cannot move on because his soul is so deeply connected to his wife in the human world even though the peace heaven offers is tempting. This is the first novel opened my mind to the connections between souls on earth and those in the afterlife.

From Donna's list on The best books for soulful connections.

This well-researched and thought-provoking book shook me more than I was prepared for.

It’s a love story about a man’s journey through death into the afterlife, and risking Heaven to save his love from the opposing fate… Because not even Heaven is Heaven without the one you love. And loving them so much that you would search through depths of hell for them.

The depiction of hell is so bone-chillingly vivid and creepy, that left me unsettled to my core.

I recommend this powerful heart-moving book to anyone going through a loss.
