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 Review: In my opinion, this is a must read. I could relate to the story too well and it made me take a good hard look at my life. It is very easy to get caught up in work, or running with the right social circles, etc. and end up turning your back on the important things in life. Sarah had made her family her second priority, taking a back seat to her career. God was way down there on her list of things important in life. It takes a split second's decision to drastically change her life and that of those around her. This one really made me think. Definitely go pick up a copy, you'll be glad you did!
