Leaving This Life BehindRecently killed in a car accident, Sharon Galdoni's impressions of her afterlife interweave with the lives of those she left behind, her husband Paul and their three-year-old son Kenny. Sharon and Paul are alternate narrators of this odyssey of the heart. In spirit, they nearly bridge the chasm of existence between them through each of their connections to their little boy. When Kenny almost dies, Sharon's longing for him is fleetingly satisfied by comforting him as a mother once again and hugging him good-bye. |
