The Judging of Abigail Perdue
Your last day on the Earth may come as a big surprise. But your first day on Stasis is guaranteed to be monumentally unexpected. A professional cellist named Abigail Perdue crosses the divide. After a harrowing subway accident she awakens in the afterlife where she is processed and prepared for final judgment. But it's not what she'd ever imagined.

These six of disparate religious, social and economic backgrounds must hear each other's stories and then decide on that soul's next step: eternal peace in ...

Because it is one of only two animal rights cases ...
