| Abstract | "Gospel is the Keeper of the Leaving Room -- a place all young people must phase through when they die. You see, the young are never ready to leave; they need a moment to remember and a Keeper to help their wispy souls along. When a random door opens and another Keeper named Melodee arrives, her soul becomes entangled with Gospel's. There is familiarity between them. But are Keepers allowed to fall in love? As they move toward each other, Gospel and Melodee realize they must also choose whether to hold on to life. With haunting encounters and a discovery of love in a novel that takes place in the span of four minutes, this is a brilliant depiction of strong young souls trying to claw their way back to a life with so many more adventures ahead -- together" -- Jacket flap. |
