New York Times editor William Peterson pulled himself up by his bootstraps. Orphaned at seventeen, Bill put himself through college and worked hard to land the job he has today.

On a blustery winter day, tragedy strikes Bill's life again, and he's introduced to a world he'd never imagined. Bill soon begins to question everything he once had figured out. Which afterlife will Bill choose? How will his afterlife shape his future and his understanding of the meaning of life? Is it too late for him to right his wrongs? Find out in Mary Castellucci's The Afterlife-a gripping tale about a selfish man whose life, or afterlife, is redefined by one simple choice. Which path will he choose?
