A Call to Heaven Jo Kessel

This story will also resonate with anyone who's lost someone close to them and wishes more than anything that they could speak to them again.

"Everybody's loved, everybody's lost.


Grief strips you raw and makes you feel as if you're sleepwalking through life, like the pain will never go away.

I'm Amy Tristan. I'm no different than anyone else. I've loved, I've lost and it sucks. I've got a five-year old son and an abusive husband. My mother died six months ago and I miss her like crazy.


I'm the biggest sceptic when it comes to other-worldly stuff, so when I'm told that I can pick up the phone and call my mum in Heaven, I should disbelieve it, right? Wrong. I pick up that phone, because there's nothing I want more than to hear her voice trickle into the receiver. And you know what? It works. I get to speak to my mother. It's a miracle.

If only it could stay this way, with those calls just for me, but someone up on high wants me to choose three other people to make a call to Heaven too. Who should I pick? How can I trust them to keep the phone secret? Making the choice is agonising - if I get it wrong, my calls will stop. I wish I hadn't told Daniel anything. He's this hot doctor that I've come to know. But doctors are scientists, and scientists are bigger sceptics than even me. He didn't believe in the phone. He thought I should be admitted to a sanatorium. Telling him was either the best decision of my life, or the worst. I'll let you decide..."


This story will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, romantic comedies, general fiction and religious, spiritual and visionary fiction.


It will also appeal to anyone who believes (or wants to believe) in miracles.
