ABOUT THE BOOK


Sarah Harper is driven to achieve success no matter what the cost. She wants to do good and not hurt the people she loves--especially children and her husband, Joe--but her desire to succeed in her career too often leaves little time for family.

One cold, autumn afternoon, all of that changes when Sarah's car plunges off a bridge and into a river. She is presumed dead by those on the "outside," but Sarah's spirit is still very much alive. What she discovers on the other side transforms everything about Sarah's view of life--past, present, and future.

When Sarah is revived, she is a changed woman. And the unsuspecting world around her will never be the same again.

My Thoughts:

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this book!! This is by far my favorite read of the summer. I knew when I saw Joyce Meyer's name on this that it would be good, but it far surpassed my expectations. The story is a wonderfully inspiring love story laced with drama and suspense. Joyce and Deborah artfully created a cast of characters that are so well developed that the reader truly feels as if they are in the story experiencing the emotions with them.

The message of this book is one that I will take with me and apply to my life for many, many years to come. This will be an amazing addition to any one's library. Go pick up a copy for yourself or someone you love today!!

Enjoy!!
