The story is about a girl called Salomon, she got killed by someone and this book is about her life in her heaven. Her dad is in heaven too but then she never saw her dad in heaven no matter what. In heaven it's like our Earth too but different. She is finding her family in heaven and have a new life in heaven. She is also finding out who killed her. I will suited this book to the people that likes to read scary book because this is kind of scary. Her life is heaven is most likely on earth. She didn't really know why can’t she see her father.
