"Odd, gentle, beautiful, weird... enchanting, light tale of discovery, change, and dubious redemption; all wrapped into the tale of a block party like no other." Alyse died and she isn't happy about it. She finds herself stuck in a ghost town occupied by dead souls with whom she has nothing in common. Her reaction to her loneliness and isolation is to throw a neighborhood block party for her little outpost in the afterlife. In the course of her party-planning, Alyse experiences a series of revelations about herself and other people—lessons she had failed to learn while alive—which leave her happier and wiser at the end of the story. From Booklife (Publisher's Weekly): "Koerber weaves a slow, captivating exploration of life, death, and the place of kindness and forgiveness in the salvation of the spirit."
