Nearly Dead

Nearly Dead

Ruthless, high-powered attorney Richard Halloway has it all until a massive stroke leaves his body lifeless and hooked up to hospital machines. He wakes up outside himself, a ghostly spectator to his near-death. Richard's denial is cut short by the appearance of Seraphina, an angel with an unusual, exasperated look on her face.

There's been a bureaucratic error in Heaven. His death wasn't scheduled, and now God is furious. Until the celestial paperwork is sorted out, Richard is on hold.

Heavenly Judge Alcott orders Richard to be temporarily returned to Earth. To his surprise, he wakes up in the body of Geraldine Liefde, a sweet woman living a quiet life in the Florida Keys, devoted to helping veterans and her small community. Suddenly, the ruthless trial lawyer finds himself trapped in a life filled with kindness, purpose, and people that actually like him.

As Richard navigates Geraldine's world, fumbling through shopping dates, helping veterans, and the relentless reminder from Seraphina to be a good boy, he begins to uncover emotions he's never truly understood . . . tenderness and love.

But time is running out. The heavenly investigation is nearing its close, and if this ruthless lawyer can't prove his soul is worth saving, his second chance will lead to a one-way trip to a place much warmer than Florida.

Heartfelt, darkly funny, and profoundly human, Nearly Dead is a supernatural redemption story that proves even the most hardened cynic can find salvation in a small town and a sensible pair of flats.
