She's a freshman in college on a soccer scholarship, surrounded by close friends she's known since kindergarten, and supported by a family whose faith runs deep. Her world is soccer and art, fun and friends. Until a freak accident changes everything. When a bus slams into her, Charlotte doesn't wake up at the pearly gates or in a hospital bed broken and paralyzed. She wakes up alive and unharmed, but different, and with no memory of the crash. Now she sees things no one else can. The people around her appear fractured—part the way they've always been, part strange and unexplainable. And the visions are only growing stronger. Has she gone crazy? Or is there something seriously wrong with her mind? Charlotte must navigate a terrifying new reality. But how? And what does it mean? Perfect for fans of YA Christian fiction and supernatural suspense, this gripping novel weaves together faith, friendship, and the search for meaning.
