Chapter One

The Mystery Of Paradise

I often wondered when I was a tyke what Paradise would be like.

Is it on a planet or a shiny star way up in the heavens so far?

What does one do each and every day? Do you just lay around or do you play?

Do you have a soulmate for all eternity? And why is heaven such a mystery?

I have heard that it is a beautiful place where everyone’s equal no matter what their race.

Where animals and humans live in harmony and our souls are forever free.

There are colors and music unknown to man, a promise land given to us by God’s very hand.

I’m grown now but I still think about Paradise, but to get there one must pay the price.

Silver and gold can’t buy your way into heaven’s gate; you must love your neighbor that’s whatit takes.

Give clothes to the needy feed the poor, when a stranger needs help open your door.

It’s the love you give in life that’ll earn you your way into God’s special garden on your last day.

Chicago, 1824

Mary Holdrege was ninety years old and on her deathbed. Her son held her hand until she took her last breath. Now, it is said that when you die your family would be waiting for you, with Saint Peter, at the Pearly Gate of heaven. But, what greeted Mary was a stranger to her. Apparently, she was not a stranger to the man.

Hello Mary, I am here to greet you.

She was frightened, but that was expected, it’s not something one experiences over and over; at least that what she thought. She swallowed and rasped, Hello, sir.

Please, call me Peter.

She nodded not knowing what to say or expect.

Did you have a happy life? he asked.

She wasn’t sure how to answer that. She did know that one does not lie if one wanted to go to heaven, so she said honestly, No, I did not.

Pete frowned. I am sorry to hear that. What was wrong with your existence? You came from a wealth family; had everything a girl could ask for.

Yes, she sighed, but the one thing I never got was a true love. Oh, at first the man I married was kind and gentle but then he cheated on me and I discovered he just married me for my money.

Peter shook his head, I am sorry to hear that. But... and it was a long pause before he said, The Almighty wants everyone to enter Paradise happy so you will get another chance to find true love.

New York, 1914

Alida Spence was dying but she felt relieved to leave this earth because she had a miserable eighty years of life. Her husband was a drunk and beat her and thankfully they were childless so leaving was easy. She closed her eyes and felt herself float through, what appeared to be a long tunnel with a shining light at the end.

Hello Alida, we meet again.

She blinked, confused, and rasped. What do you mean?

He smiled, Oh, you’ve been here before but of course you do not have any memory of it. But by that as it may, how was your life?

Still in the arms of confusion she thought the question strange but she answered honestly. Sir, it sucked.

He blanched and murmured, My name is Peter. And, um...I am truly sorry to hear that again.

A-again? she sputtered.

He did not explain and said, Well, the Almighty gives souls many chances to enter heaven happy so you will be sent back until you find happiness.

Alida sighed, All I want is a love that’s never ending, a soul mate. Is that too much to ask for sir?

"Peter, please.
