Claire Blackwell can’t find that damn white light. Thanks to a mishap at an intersection, she’s dead and stuck somewhere between Heaven and what seems like Hell as she is forced to watch her husband and children unravel without her. While she struggles to find answers for her limbo state, her family begins to see her, offering what she believes, is a gift of second chances.

As she navigates through this new, untouchable world and the challenges it creates, she is forced to face some sad and potentially dangerous truths. Determined, she works to mend her relationship with her family, but her stubborn teenage son refuses to acknowledge her, and when tensions escalate with his long-time bully, her inability to control the physical world around her leaves her fearing for her family’s safety. With her time running out, she must find a way to save them before the progress she has made is lost and she fades from this world forever.



Review

This is such a powerful read that was unlike anything I've read. I loved the fact that Jan Steele was able to give us a unique, emotional, and inspiring story.

I loved reading about Claire and her journey. There is so much in this book that is more than just being a mom and watching over your children forever, it melds so many important lessons and themes right along with that. 

It's whimsical and has humorous moments while being serious and emotional. Jan Steele really manages to succeed in every area of writing with this one.
