Growing up amidst Mississippi’s racial tensions, Parrish McCullough finds courage, love, and answers to the mystery of the soul’s survival. She's shadowed by secrets and haunted by her father's spirit--along with other, more ominous ghosts. Determined to find out The Truth About Life After Death, she takes some risks that send her over the razor's edge between living and dying...and lead to an unexpected romance.

The book is about love transcending barriers, betrayal, loss, the soul's endurance, and the immortality granted by love and memory.
