I found this to be an enjoyable, quick read.  That being said, if religious fiction isn't your thing, this probably isn't a story for you. I found this much better suited for a religious fiction category than for the mystery genre in which some have placed it.It's very hard for me to describe the storyline without giving away spoilers. Maybe this is due to the length of the tale. Suffice it to say that Dani visits a place called Paradise after being involved in a car accident. The time that she spends there does much to change her outlook on life in general.Though I liked this story, I saw the big twist coming a mile away. It was obvious to me who Gabe and Megan were and why they were familiar to Dani. I had a hard time believing that she didn't put things together sooner. I also have issues with the character of Megan and how she was depicted, for reasons that I can't delve into without giving things away. The same can be said for the scene with Gabe, Dani and the doctor. Let's leave it at "I didn't think things worked that way" and call it good.All my suspension of disbelief struggles aside, I found this to be a unique take on a deep subject. Also, something I hadn't seen before was the author featuring herself writing the story in the prologue. I'm not quite certain if I am a fan of that tactic, but it's definitely different.
