Illusion of an Ending

Jimmy Pollaski, a young man at the peak of his potential, dies suddenly in a motorcycle accident. As his spirit hovers above his lifeless body, he calls out to his mother, Patricia, only to find that his words are inaudible. He then promises to find some way to transmit his message to the world of the living.

It is no coincidence that sixteen-year-old Lorrena Shaw can see him, along with other spirits-a gift that Lorrena's mother shuns. After her mother suddenly announces that they will abandon their home in Connecticut to care for Lorrena's grandmother-a grandmother she has never known-Lorrena inevitably finds herself in the same small Massachusetts city where Patricia resides.

As their paths unite, Lorrena discovers the unbearable grief that haunts Patricia's every move. Now, not only must she convince Patricia that her son's soul has survived the fatal crash, she must also travel beyond space and time to access the Akashic Records, the library of all of Human Existence, and write their stories as one-a story that ultimately shatters the boundaries between life and death.
