I love this, too! A healing story about life after death. The lessons are inspiring, but the one that hit me was about Cleo, Annie's dog. My family recently lost our dog of over a decade, and I couldn't stop thinking about him while reading about Cleo. I hope you're in a better place, little buddy. I'm actually glad that she survived the accident because her life wasn't over yet. I love the resolution, too. What I love most about this series is that it' s truly emotional and reflective. We look at the after life in a different light which was super interesting for me. Anyway, I'm so inspired after this story. Thank you, Mitch✨ I'll surely read your other books❤️
