What happens to you when you die? Where do you go? What do you do? That is the million dollar question. Fifteen-year-old Liz awakens one morning to find herself aboard the SS Nile. She assumes she is dreaming but soon learns that she has died and Elsewhere is her “final destination”. Liz is greeted at the dock by her namesake, Grandma Betty, who died at age 50 from breast cancer, but is now a beautiful woman in her 30s. You see, in Elsewhere you age backwards, growing younger, until you eventually return to Earth as a baby to begin a new life. Instead of having a job, you choose an avocation and spend your time doing something that makes your soul complete. And while you can observe life on Earth, contact is prohibited. These new twists on life only make Liz depressed and mournful of the milestones she’ll miss out on: driver’s license, prom, wedding, and having children. Will Liz be able to accept her death and what is to come? Welcome to Elsewhere.This book is a Soaring Eagle Nominee for 2007-2008.
