Twenty-nine-year-old Alexandra Dorenfield suddenly finds herself in heaven after an unfortunate encounter with a Mini Cooper. The seventh—and highest—level of heaven to be exact. Her dog, Peaches, is with her; she is reunited with her beloved grandparents; she has the wardrobe of a movie star; and she lives in the house of her dreams next door to a handsome guy. This is heaven!

But there's a catch. Alex must prove she led a fulfilling existence by writing an essay on the ten best days of her life—or she will be demoted to a lower level of heaven, where the clothes are last year's styles, the men aren't quite as handsome, and, worst of all, Peaches and her family won't be nearby. Witty and inspiring, this divine debut novel dares to ask a material girl—and the rest of us—what makes life precious.

Adena Halpern is the author of several novels, as well as the memoir Target Underwear and a Vera Wang Gown: Notes from a Single Girl’s Closet, which was based on her popular “Haute Life” essays for the back page of Marie Claire magazine. In addition to Marie Claire, Halpern has written for Daily Variety and the New York Times. She has a BA in dramatic writing from New York University and an MFA in screenwriting from the American Film Institute. A proud Philadelphia native, she resides in Los Angeles with her husband, television and screenwriter Jonathan Goldstein.

Jorjeana Marie has worked extensively as an actress, comedian, writer, and audiobook narrator. Her narrations have earned her several Earphones Awards. She has performed in hundreds of commercials and starred in the pilot Listen to Grandpa, Andy Ling with Elliott Gould. She is a stand-up comic who has opened for Richard Lewis, Louie Anderson, and Kathleen Madigan. Her video game credits include Final Fantasy, Crackdown 2, and Star Guardians. She loves reading so much it gets her into trouble.

“The hereafter is happier than ever in Halpern’s debut novel…Readers into the heavenly have another bonbon to savor.”

“A charming vision of heaven that reminds us to live each day here on earth as if it could be our last.”

“A heavenly read. The kind of story that will have you calling your mother to remind her how much you love her.”
