In this whimsical free-verse novel, young Hunter quite literally propels himself out of this world and into the next after pushing his bike just a little too far. In fact, he flies right off a cliff only to awaken in a place called Heaven. Here he meets a compelling young friend named Trinity. From this point on, his mission is to love and protect her and all the while, find a way back to life on Earth. Too bad for Hunter, because that's when things get really complicated... In the end, through unexpected twists and turns that are both humorous and moving, we discover a little bit about the meaning of love, and something of Heaven and Earth.
