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

The premise of this story was so unique and so touching. I think any mother will automatically be able to see themselves in Claire. None of us are perfect and I think it takes something like this to make you take a deeper look. 

I loved that this was such a wonderful mix of genres. It's a women's fiction, it's serious and has all of the drama, but there are plenty of heart-warming moments, humorous moments, etc. There is lighthearted fun laced throughout to lighten the otherwise dreary mood that would come for someone in Claires shoes. 

Jan Steels has really pieced together a story that delivers in every area. It's a beautiful story.
