Rich with empathy, humor, and imagination, Giorgio paints a beautiful picture of the afterlife that is a balm for anyone who has ever lost someone. -Marisa Dondlinger, author of Come and Get Me
Some people spend a lifetime outrunning the darkness. Hope never stood a chance.
At forty-three, Hope Sanders has carried a sadness she cannot name, a hollow, pulling thing that lives beneath every good day and swallows every quiet moment. It is not the kind of sadness that comes from something happening. It simply is. And when she finally stops running, she wakes up somewhere warm and still and achingly familiar, with a worn teddy bear in her arms and a God who pulls up a chair beside her.
Heaven, it turns out, is surprisingly ordinary. There are neighbors with stories just as heavy as her own, and group therapy every Wednesday, and a long-overdue art studio waiting with her name on it. For the first time, Hope begins to paint the thing that never had words.
But healing, even in Heaven, is not simple. The people she left behind are still breathing, still hurting, still reaching for her through a silence she chose.
Written with lyrical tenderness and quiet, unflinching grace, this is a story for anyone who has ever loved someone they could not save, or carried a grief no one else could quite touch. It is the rarest kind of book: one that holds profound sorrow and unexpected warmth in the same gentle hand, and somehow makes both feel like hope.
What does it mean to finally feel whole in a place you never planned to be? Get your copy today before the price changes.
