This is not a political diary. It is shameless self-promotion of a book. This shameless self-promotion is mitigated somewhat: I donate all proceeds from sales of any of my books. In this case, the proceeds will go to Lionel’s Legacy, a rescue that specializes in old dogs.
Reviews and synopsis:
“”Odd, gentle, beautiful, weird… enchanting, light tale of discovery, change, and dubious redemption; all wrapped into the tale of a block party like no other.”
Alyse died and she isn’t happy about it. She finds herself stuck in a ghost town occupied by dead souls with whom she has nothing in common. Her new neighbors spend their time playing poker, engaging inn village politics, and arguing with each other. Lonely and depressed, she decides to throw a neighborhood block party for her little outpost in the afterlife. In the course of her party-planning, Alyse experiences a series of revelations about herself and other people—lessons she had failed to learn while alive—which leave her happier and wiser at the end of the story.
From Booklife (Publisher's Weekly):
"Koerber weaves a slow, captivating exploration of life, death, and the place of kindness and forgiveness in the salvation of the spirit."
From a verified purchaser:
The story is simply an odd and gentle book. I loved the characters. This is a book to read when you want to get away from the noise and anger of current events and politics.
Somehow I felt lighter at the end of the book even though I would have liked it to continue on.”
From Diane Donovan of Midwest Review:
“Readers receive a satisfyingly different combination of philosophical and spiritual reflection, commentary on ghosts and lives lived on the margins in both worlds, and a dash of wry humor that permeates the story, as Limbo's residents get to know one another and reflect on the circumstances that brought them together.
Readers seeking an uplifting afterlife saga that offers a winning brush against life's ironies and inconsistencies, and an attention to building characters who face Limbo in different ways, will enjoy this enchanting, light tale of discovery, change, and dubious redemption; all wrapped into the tale of a block party like no other.”
