Overview
From the bestselling author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill comes a witty, heartfelt novel about what really matters in life—and death.
When Helen Oleander dies, she's surprised to discover life is far from over. Turns out that the recently dead return to Earth for one year, tasked with creating serendipity, influencing luck, and helping the living find their way. Helen's charge is Charlotte, a young New Yorker grieving the person who
raised her—and who's now in danger of losing the beloved Manhattan brownstone she calls home.
As Charlotte joins forces with her neighbors to save their building—including Nick, a bird fanatic who works for the city parks department—she has no idea Helen is quietly tipping the odds in her favor.
