Book Description
John O’Brien thought suicide would silence the voices that droned inside his head and end the pain he caused his wife Nora, and their 15-year-old daughter Maggie.
But that just doesn’t happen. Maggie almost drowns trying to save John and his final act in life allows him to save Maggie. She has a vague memory of John carrying her out of the water and remembers being alone the beach. Maggie is left with a heartbreaking question: Where is John?
Now stuck between worlds, John can only observe Nora’s plunge into prescription addiction, laced with alcohol, and watches as his wife slowly pushes Maggie out of her life. John tries to intervene but each attempt is more hopeless than the last; all he can do is witness the aftermath of his frenzied act.
Maggie begins a crusade to uncover the truth surrounding John’s desperate past. She unravels the reasons for his obsession with the tree house in a weeping willow tree – a place he tried to connect to before his demise.
Convinced the willow tree holds the answer to finding her father, Maggie sets off on a journey to find the mythical weeping willow – a journey that takes her to the world between - and beyond.
When Maggie meets imminent danger, John is her only hope for survival. Is it possible for him to cross the boundary between life and death - to save his daughter one last time?
