Only good part of the book was when he reconnected with his wife. Weird how they just glossed over the stuff with the dad & the guy who attacked the mom??? Nope.

Read it. This book found me and knew I needed it. I’m usually a romance reader but this book taught me some valuable lessons and opened my mindset on heaven and the afterlife.
