This is the story of eight individuals whose lives...and deaths...overlap, as they meet again ...on the "other side," where each is given a choice of fates, guided by a variety of angels and saints, and cajoled by the devil himself.: CHARLIE, the good husband and father, overcome by an inexplicable suicidal depression; PENNY, raised by a caring grandmother, but driven by self-destructive and sadistic urges; MARION, abused as a youngster, yet saintly in her desire to help others; DR. HARRISON, the wealthy Ob-Gyn who could not resist his predatory urges; FATHER BRYAN, able to forgive everyone except himself for failing to protect a murdered child; CARRIE, devoted to her church, but not to her husband; CHRISTOPHER, the "accidental" President who was determined to make the country a better place, even if it cost him his life; and TODD, the Vice President who manipulated the country into a war for his own self- aggrandizement.

EVERYONE HERE SPOKE SIGN LANGUAGE

From the seventeenth century to the early years of the twentieth, the population of Martha’s Vineyard manifested an extremely high rate of profound hereditary deafness. In stark contrast to the experience of most deaf people in our own society, the Vineyarders who were born deaf were so thoroughly integrated into the daily life of the community that they were not seen—and did not see themselves—as handicapped or as a group apart. Deaf people were included in all aspects of life, such as town politics, jobs, church affairs, and social life. How was this possible? On the Vineyard, hearing and deaf islanders alike grew up speaking sign language. This unique sociolinguistic adaptation meant that the usual barriers to communication between the hearing and the deaf, which so isolate many deaf people today, did not exist.

British literature often refers to pagan and classical themes through richly detailed landscapes that suggest more than a mere backdrop of physical features. The myth-inspired writings of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Algernon Blackwood, Aleister Crowley, Lord Dunsany and even Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows informed later British films and television dramas such as The Owl Service (1969-70), Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), The Wicker Man (1973), Excalibur (1981) and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). The author analyzes the evocative language and esthetics of landscapes in literature, film, television and music, and how "psycho-geography" is used to explore the influence of the past on the present.
