Five Days

Some say our hearts are weighed against feathers. Some say we die, and our light goes out forever. Some say we are asleep. Some say we become angels. Some say we get stuck in the middle. The truth is that we have five days. Five days, seemingly chosen at random, determine what happens to us when we die. Join Jennifer Uccello, a recently divorced 26 year-old who wakes up in the Expiation Zone, apparently dead and unaware of the cause, as she is paired with an unlikely mentor on an inspiring and uplifting quest that takes her on a journey back to Earth where she must reshape the futures of five people in order to move along to her final resting place. Along the way, she discovers that our lives (and our deaths) are shaped by the actions of five days. Like life itself, this novel provides a journey that brings readers to tears and lifts them up in hope.
