Among the living, very few have died and come back to life. The wise among them use their second chance to prepare themselves and others for the moment when death comes back to take them for good. Author Eugenie Mukayiranga has experienced a reawakening from death and hopes to share what she has learned with others. Her out-of-body experiences were not only precious to her, but they also set her on a mission to get out and make sure that her story goes as far as possible. In her debut novel, In the Hopeland, Eugenie shares her transformative experience and hopes to use her second chance at life to share how she prepared herself for death by getting ready for eternal life with God. She uses her powerful voice to deliver the message that although death is unpredictable, we should not take any days for granted, we should strive to be our best, and we should take any opportunity given to us as potentially the last. Eugenie's vision of life after death helps her to remain peaceful in stormy times, in the knowledge that God is watching and is sovereign in everything that happens. The promptness of the angels sent from heaven to care for Eugenie increased her faith in God abundantly! By sharing her story, Eugenie hopes to impart to all that God is the most powerful yet intimately acquainted Being to each one of us and that nothing can ever change that truth.
