What if heaven was a different world? Not where you go when you are dead, but somewhere you live? What if, in heaven, they can control you? Change your mind, erase your memory, change the past, and the future? This is the world Grace Thompson grows up in. The world she has grown to hate. When a child resident in this world turns fourteen, they are given this option: will they stay with their families, and control earth, or they can forget about heaven, and live a new life on earth. When Grace is given the option, she chooses to leave, but something odd happens. She still remembers everything about heaven.
**Not meant to go against any religion. I am not saying that Heaven is a horrible place that no one should want to go to. I am, in fact, religious, and believe that Heaven is a wonderful place. Sorry for any confusion**
"Does it hurt to die?" she whispered to me.
I thought long and hard about my response. Finally, when the correct words formed in my mouth, I said:
"Yeah, but it hurts more to keep living."
Welcome to my world.

It was a perfect life. A big, beautiful house in the richer part of town. Two loving, happy parents. A dog that was potty trained and seemed to know when to be so cute and cuddly. A school filled with only the smartest students and most professional teachers. Friends who would never do any harm to anyone. Money coming easily and the weather always staying nice. It was the perfect life. Anything anyone could have wanted. Avaley Camber lived this perfect life.
Lived.
Thing is, when you die, you are not supposed to come back to life. But the Creator has something special in mind for Avaley Camber. Something far more greater than staying dead forever. It's a second chance.
Avaley didn't necessarily want to come back from the dead, but if it's better than being in a coffin all her life it's something she says yes to. What she doesn't know, however, is the other parts that come with coming back to life. And Avaley realizes that she's going to need her whole life to get used to the new parts.
As Avaley starts to relive her life again, she's faced with new challenges and new changes in her life. Her life that seemed so perfect has its own flaws. New things keep popping up in front of Avaley, and it's up to her to work her way through them.
With the help of her new powers, that is.
