She argued with St. Peter, kicked the wheel of fate, and crash-landed back on earth sixty years later. Heaven wasn't ready for Holly Blossums - and neither is the modern world.Holly Blossums is thirteen years old, stubborn as a mule, and absolutely not ready to die. But when she drowns in a Texas lake in 1955 - with her best friend Roy watching helplessly from the bank, too afraid of the water to save her - that's exactly what happens.
In heaven, Holly is every bit as much trouble. She glues angels' wings together, argues with St. Peter, and flat-out refuses to spin the celestial wheel of fate that's supposed to assign her a new family. When a heavenly golden dog named Genesis sends Holly zooming back through the tunnel of light, she crash-lands in the middle of modern-day Dallas - in a full-grown woman's body, with the heart, spirit, and hopelessly outdated know-how of a thirteen-year-old girl.
Cars honk. People stare. Nobody dresses properly anymore. And next door to the kind police officer who takes her in lives an elderly Roy Carter - the boy who loved her, who watched her drown, and who has spent sixty years carrying that day with him. Now Holly has two weeks to complete her mission: find a new family, right old wrongs, and somehow convince the people around her that a girl who died before colour television was invented is absolutely, completely fine.
With Roy as her unlikely wingman, Holly schemes to bring together Maria - the warm, overworked single mum next door - and Albert, Roy's adopted son. Along the way, she befriends Maria's kids, outwits a villainous child psychologist, gets lost in New York City, and pulls off a rescue in an icy Central Park pond that only an angel could manage.
Warm, funny, and quietly devastating, Holly Blossums is a story about second chances, the love that outlasts lifetimes, and one gloriously unstoppable girl who refuses to let death - or St. Peter - get the last word. Perfect for fans of The Lovely Bones and Elsewhere - if you love stories where a fiercely real character refuses to stay gone, and where love finds a way across decades, Holly's story is for you.
