One morning in the small town of Coldwater, Michigan, the phone starts ringing. The voices say they are calling from heaven . Is it the greatest miracle ever? Or some cruel hoax? As news of these strange calls spreads, outsiders flock to Coldwater to be a part of it.
At the same time, a disgraced pilot named Sully Harding returns to Coldwater from prison to discover his hometown gripped by "miracle fever". Even his young son carries a toy phone, hoping to hear from his mother in heaven.
As the calls increase, and proof of an afterlife begins to surface, the town-and the world-transforms. Only Sully, convinced there is nothing beyond this sad life, digs into the phenomenon, determined to disprove it for his child and his own broken heart.
My Review:
What a very interesting book. It begins right off with people getting phone calls from people who have died, usually someone close to them, but in one case from someone this person had no wish to hear from. I started thinking, who would I want to call me from Heaven?? It seems like people are always looking for proof of an afterlife, and then I thought to myself, I already KNOW there is life after death. I know people I loved who have died are just waiting on the other side, and that they are closer to us then we realize sometimes. I realized that I wouldn't need a phone call from heaven to help me to believe. I already know. But of course, there will always be people who want PROOF, hard evidence. It was interesting how these phone calls affected the people who were receiving them, but also people from all over the world. I think everyone wants to be a part of a miracle, when we don't realize that sometimes miracles are right in front of us. It was a good read from beginning to end, and a conclusion that you just never would figure out. This book really made me think.
4 out of 5 rating.
