Arriving in heaven with her dog Peaches after an unfortunate auto accident, twenty-nine-year-old Alexandra Dorenfield is delighted to find herself in the seventh — and highest — level of heaven, where she is reunited with her grandparents and finds the man of her dreams, until she discovers that she must prove her right to remain there, or be demoted to a lower level of the hereafter.
Amazon Description:
A heavenly novel about what truly matters in life
In this hilarious and heartwarming first novel, twenty-nine-year-old Alexandra Dorenfield suddenly finds herself in heaven after an unfortunate encounter with a Mini Cooper. The seventh — and highest — level of heaven to be exact. Her dog Peaches is with her; she is reunited with her beloved grandparents; she has the wardrobe of a movie star; and she lives in the house of her dreams next door to a handsome guy. This is heaven!
But there’s a catch. Alex must prove she led a fulfilling existence by writing an essay on the ten best days of her life — or she will be demoted to a lower level of heaven, where the clothes are last year’s styles, the men aren’t quite as handsome, and worst of all, Peaches and her family won’t be nearby. Witty and inspiring, this divine debut novel dares to ask a material girl — and the rest of us — what makes life precious.
