The Great Blue Yonder

184 pp. | Clarion | April, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-618-21257-4 $$15.00
(4) 4-6 After being hit by a truck, Harry arrives at the Other Lands, a place of perpetual sunsets filled with dead souls waiting to make their next transition to the Great Blue Yonder. Returning to Earth one last time, Harry observes his grieving family and forgives his sister for their final argument. The intriguing premise offers both humor and genuinely moving moments, though the first-person narrative is wordy.
