I loved this book, with flavor of “Our Town”. This is the story of Elmwood Springs, Missouri, from its foundation as a dream of its founder to its near death in present times. The characters are loveable, even in the hereafter. I couldn‘t stay away from the book.
Going to read the physical copy now that I‘ve listened to it.
“Yes, he thought maybe he mattered after all, a lesson in the unexpected. Wasn‘t that the point? Wasn‘t that the great answer to the mystery of life? To make the most of what you have while you have it, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. In death, Wallace had never felt more alive.”

A friend recommended this after we had some deaths in my family. I enjoyed the perspective of the afterlife from a near-death experience of a neurosurgeon including his own doubts and scientific frame of reference.
