While I enjoyed the author's first book, I had to push myself to get through this one. All that the two central characters could see, hear, and do while "out of body" traveling was unbelievable. The mother's emotions seemed over the top at times, and the ending which I assume was supposed to make the reader joyful and teary eyed at the same time, only left me grimacing. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this copy!
