About this book
Gospel is the Keeper of the Leaving Room—a place all young people must phase through when they die. The young are never ready to leave; they need a moment to remember and a Keeper to help their wispy souls along.<br /><br />Gospel assumes that there are countless other Leaving Rooms because many children pass, but she suspects they are not like <i>her </i>Leaving Room which is small (like a walk in closet)with shelves full of tiny jars that hold the memories of those who have gone.<br /><br />When a random door opens and a Keeper named Melody arrives, their souls become entangled. Gospel seriousness melts and Melody’s fear of connection fades, but still—are Keepers allowed to fall in love? Now they must find a way out of the Leaving Room and be unafraid of their love. They must claw their way back to their bodies because there is so much more life to explore—together.
