Love after Life: A Parable of Parallel Realities
()
About this ebook
When 50-year-old Lucas Palmer falls out of a rowboat into northern California’s Russian River, he initiates rapid and mysterious changes in the life of his troubled daughter Wendy — who, at age 28, has been glumly waiting for her “real life” to begin. While the comatose Lucas conducts a searching inventory of his past in a strange otherworld, he must also negotiate the peace in a ludicrous battle between his two after-life guides: the spirit of his beloved wife Flora and the bombastic, cinematic ghost of General George S. Patton (Lucas’s secret hero).
Meanwhile Wendy gets an unexpected makeover during a trying weekend that she must get through without the help of her Marianne Williamson tapes — and soon she learns secrets of her own past that shake her very foundations.
When the parallel and mystically linked stories of Love After Life converge in a gripping conclusion, every reader will be left with a new appreciation of the staying power of love and the hidden reserves of the human spirit.
Inspired by themes from A Course in Miracles, this captivating novel offers a new kind of teaching from one of the most respected writers in the field of Course studies. The challenges of self-confrontation, forgiveness, and healing special relationships are illustrated by a narrative that is both compelling and entertaining.
