The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

A young girl is murdered and spends many years watching the activities of her former life as 'life' moves on. The book shares my theory on heaven, basically there are different 'planes' and you do what you do best! Wonder how many of 'us' identify with Franny!

Had the same kind of feeling as the 'chicken soup for the...' books - or 'Doris Stokes' books. Tugged on the heart strings that the cosmic balance is inevitable ... like the cable show 'touched by an angel' it gives the same 'pit of the stomach' understanding.
