Nobody expected an airplane carrying a hundred people to crash, least of all Lenny, a young passenger who finds himself transitioning to the other side and adjusting to an entirely new existence.
From his new perspective, Lenny witnesses the ways in which his death affects the people he left behind. From his grieving parents to his younger brother, each of them must try to process the shock of losing Lenny in such a horrific way.
With guidance from his guardian angel, Lenny tries to help his loved ones through the grieving process by using his energy to reach them emotionally. But what Lenny doesn't realize is that if people aren't open to receiving his messages, they won't. Ultimately it is up to each person how he or she will live after Lenny's death-for better or for worse.
Beyond Dark Skies is a touching and astute look at how losing loved ones in the physical world does not mean losing them spiritually. With a compassionate examination of what it means to find purpose among loss, this book is a guiding light in a situation that can feel so dark.
