About the Book (Excerpts & Info):
The Crawfords were the ideal happy family until the day a deadly accident claimed the life of Blake and his father, Tim, who both soon found themselves in another dimension before the Gates of Heaven. On their way towards Salvation, an angel named Sophia came from behind the radiant wall of light only to prevent Tim from entry, while his son was granted access. While Tim learns that he must complete a monumental task before he is to achieve euphoria, his wife Mary, back on earth, battles severe depression and suicidal thoughts after her disastrous loss. When she discovers that she is pregnant with Tim's second child, Mary once again finds a purpose to live. Much to her ignorance, Tim checks in on Mary on a daily basis while he awaits further instructions of the deed he needs to complete, which will show him the way to the Everlasting Kingdom.

About the Author:
Darren LaMontagne was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada into a successful, hardworking family and, growing up, always felt he never belonged. As the years went by, Darren began working for his dad, and gradually learning his trade, came to accept the fact he was different, and it was not a bad thing.
Today, Darren would do almost anything to make people laugh, and he usually does. Loving everyone and not thinking twice to go out of his way to give you a helping hand, Darren would like to think the majority of those he holds dear, genuinely seem happy to know him. He wouldn't want it any other way.
