A Symphony of Cicadas: Sometimes the end is just the beginning - Paperback

by Crissi Langwell (Author)

Rachel Ashby thought she had it all. She was in the midst of blending her family with her fiancé John, and mere weeks away from their wedding. After a lifetime of disappointment, everything was finally falling into place-until she and her son lose their lives in an accident.

Rachel finds herself on a journey through the afterlife, forced to witness her family's grief as they try to move on without her. Unable to find her son, Rachel stays in the in-between, struggling to remain close to John. But her efforts to stay connected prevent John from healing over his loss, and could put him in danger. The question is, how do you let go of the one you love?

Crissi Langwell has written a novel of love and loss in a portrait of one woman's journey, as well as the journey of those she left behind. A Symphony of Cicadas offers a beautiful yet somber glimpse into the mystical world of the afterlife, and the heartache and healing of the living after losing someone they love.
