Tom Waring is in Heaven, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Before he died, he promised his wife April that if there really was an afterlife, he'd return from the dead and tell her. But Heaven isn't all angelic choruses, harps and halos---it's more like a cross between IBM and the DMV; more graduate school than Sunday School. And when his request to return to Earth is routinely denied, Tom must risk everything--even his immortal soul--to keep his promise to April. [from author/publisher web site]
