A factual, detailed account of remarkable experiences the author encountered shortly after the separate deaths of his mother, brother, and husband over a period of thirty-one years, the book posits a metaphysical, spiritual thesis. Namely, that these three beloved people in his life found astounding ways to let him know that they were all still part of the universe we inhabit, and, therefore, that the same universe is far more surprising and complex than we could ever imagine. Without criticizing established belief systems or suggesting a dogmatic approach, this uplifting read advocates keeping an open mind and heart regarding continuing existence and purpose.
