About the Book

A Sneak Peek into the Story:

Gabriel’s final mission takes him over the streets of Brooklyn, where he’s assigned to bring an elderly man to the afterlife. As Gabriel floats over the familiar neighborhoods, he recalls the years of his work in this community. His final stop is at a park, where an old man watches children play, lost in his own memories.

Through their interaction, Gabriel helps the old man relive a moment from his youth, reconnecting with the past he thought he’d lost forever. The exchange between the two is a quiet, powerful reminder that the people, places, and moments we leave behind never truly go away.
