So This is What Death is Like

Emma-Marie Robins is getting ready to graduate high school. Taking care of her grades, siblings, and her own income are her main concerns. But that changes within an instant. And she doesn't know how it happened. But she's now dead. She can't say goodbye, she can't stay and look after her little brothers and sisters or tell her parents how sorry she is how she can't come home. Instead, she is forced to choose whether to stay where her body lays or if she should move on to a new place she has never heard of.

And her version of death doesn't exactly look like death either. Instead, it's a middle-aged man with a strange way of showing just how dead she is by revealing every secret of death he can to her. Including this new place that she has to call home until she is chosen to be revived, or put into a temporary purgatory. For a few hundred years. One thing is for sure. This is not her idea of "meeting her maker."
