This book was a beautiful, heartwarming and tragic book, with an amazing twist. I read it in a day. I just couldn't put it down. It's an amazing dream about life after death and I can only pray that there is some truth to it.

I cried twice during this book and I can't wait to see the movie when it comes out this fall on DVD.
Ben Sherwood is a new add to my list of authors, I'm excited to read more of his novels.

Good book but not close to one of my favorites. This one took me a month to read. Didn't really captivate me until about chapter 20.

Favorite Part:
"People come, people go, they'll drift in and out of your life almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book commplete with new ones, not the ones from the past."
