A young soon-to-be mother, Christine, is saved from attempted suicide by Gavin, a disaffected youth with a chip on his shoulder. But in a twist of irony Gavin is already dead, having killed himself the previous evening. He's now stuck in limbo with a penance to pay before he'll be considered for entry into heaven. And in the meantime, Christine is the only person on earth who can see, hear and touch him.
Guided by his spiritual mentor, a bible-bashing angel called Clavis, Gavin embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads him to discovering the answer to the question that hangs over all of us: the reason for his existence. But by the time he's earned his place in paradise, the very thing that drove him to suicide in the first place has come full circle and he can't go.
A witty, heartbreaking and thought-provoking read.
