Description
Veronica, already scarred by too many failed relationships, finds the world a frightening place. Skylab, an American space station that came crashing down to earth, in particular, haunts and enrages her. So she has committed suicide, and is now in what she expected to be heaven but is instead something called the Bardo (the netherworld in Tibetan Buddhism), and the forces there keep trying to make her reincarnate. So far she's thwarted these return visits to earth with a sort of "spiritual otherworldly emergency brake system" she seems to have. She doesn't like being alive, and post-9/11 finds the world even scarier than when she was there. A lovely if strong-willed Indian spirit guide named Maryamma, however, is intent on getting Veronica back to earth so she can learn the lessons her soul is supposed to learn. Veronica--nicknamed "Miss Witherspoon" by Maryamma--didn't expect there to be any afterlife, but if there has to be one, she demands St. Peter and the pearly gates.
Description
Miss Witherspoon- Veronica, a recent suicide, discovers that the one thing worse than the world she left behind is having to go back for seconds. With the help of a black female Jesus and a wizard suspiciously named Gandalf, she must journey from here to eternity and back again to cleanse her "brown tweedy aura" and learn the necessity of reengaging with life.--[book cover]. Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge- When a sassy ghost once again attempts to shake Scrooge from his holiday humbug, the whole family-friendly affair is derailed by Mrs. Cratchit's drunken insistence on stepping out of her miserable, treacly role.--[book cover].
