Is there life after death?

Will North thinks so. He and his little sister, Wenny, both died when they were hit by a truck. Will remembers seeing Wenny flying ahead of him toward a golden light. He almost followed her, until he remembered his parents and was pulled back into life. But now Will is angry. He blames himself for Wenny's death, believing there must have been something he could have done to prevent the accident. He's mad at his grieving parents, who act as if they can never be happy again. And he is furious with Wenny, not only for insisting on going with him to the store on the day of the accident, but also for leaving him behind. Will thinks that talking about his near-death experience may comfort his parents and help heal his family. But no one seems willing to listen to him.

Will's pastor tells him that when he's angry, he writes letters to God, but Will decides he'd rather write letters to Wenny. So he does, in a touching, funny, and honest correspondence that will make readers cry, wonder, hope...and believe.

I read it and it was amazing! But also so sad :( I would recommend it to people who like sad and just over all good books it is amazing. I cried when I read it it is so sad :( But I love it -Read It

I decided to read this book because I overheard my classmate and teacher talking about it. I decided I was interested in it so I checked it out. So far, what I can tell you is that Will North and his sisiter, Wenny, were walking across a road and then a truck came driving close to them and hit them both. They both died. But Will came back to life. So far, I would rate it 5 stars and I think you should read it if you like sad but touching and good stories.
