What if you could visit heaven and hell, traveling when and wherever you wish . . . without ever dying? What if your teenage daughter, the joy of your life, had died a tragic death and you discovered a way to visit her? What if there were people and beings, on both sides of the grave, who want to stop your return? These are the questions facing novelist David Kauffman. As a single parent he is devastated when his young daughter meets an untimely death. Desperate to contact her, he meets Gita Patekar, a beautiful and committed Christian with a scarred and shame-ridden past. She works for "Life After Life"--an organization dedicated to tracking and recording the experiences of the soul once it leaves the body. Despite Gita's warnings that God is opposed to contacting the dead, David uses the organization's computer to try to find his daughter. In the process they discover Gita's organization has some very deep and dark secrets. A suspense-filled game of cat and mouse begins--both on earth and beyond the grave--as the couple work together, fall in love, and struggle to expose the truth . . . until they come face to face with the ultimate Love and Truth.

Barrow-In-Furness has experienced an astonishing transformation from a village to a major industrial town over the past 150 years. This fascinating and detailed book reveals the stories behind this growth through contemporary newspaper headlines and reports. Digging for iron, steelmaking, shipbuilding, the growth of the railways and the laying of tram lines are described in articles and historical notes drawn from Barrow's local newspaper, the North West Evening Mail, and from a number of other daily and weekly papers once published in the town. The newspapers have left us a record of daily life in Barrow, its triumphs and its tragedies. A wide range of town events are covered, from royal visits and launch ceremonies to complaints about late trams and delays in building a bridge to Walney. Read about the day Barrow took on Everton at football, when the might Hindenburg flew across Barrow's rooftops and how the town commemorated the end of the two world wars. Discover how the town's population swelled as munitions workers produced the millions of shells needed to win the First World War and was then hit by a recession and unemployment. The extracts have been selected by the Evening Mail's assistant editor, Bill Myers, mainly from material he researched for an exhibition at the Dock Museum to celebrate the newspaper's centenary. The illustrations are drawn from the author's extensive collection of postcards and photographs showing the development of the North West over the past century.
