Summary
Reviewer Name : jmcgarry2011 This is part of The Color of Heaven series. They are more of the heartwarming romance novels than steamy bodice¬rippers. In this book, we meet Josh, a Boston police officer who has just had his girlfriend break up with him. She found someone else. While on patrol that night, he gets into a shootout with a drug dealer who carjacked a van. Josh nearly dies. He is rushed to the operating table, and begins to experience himself floating out of his body, watching his surgery. He flashes back to his childhood friends Riley and his sister Leah. He is also there when Riley's sister Holly is born. Then he comes back to reality¬¬or is it? I don't want to give too much else away, because of spoilers. The scenes in the operating room where Josh is floating above his body reminded me of Heaven Is For Real. I'm not familiar with near death experiences, but this sounds very real to me. The narration goes from Josh to Holly in the middle of the book, which at first I found disorienting, but then I got used to it. When it switched back to Josh at the end, I was somewhat prepared for it. It does raise the question, are neardeath experiences real? If they are, why do we come back. Parts of this also reminded me of The Sixth Sense (\"I see dead people.\") She's writing a sequel to this book called The Color of Joy, to be published in February 201 5. I look forward to it.
