With his young wife dying of an incurable illness, Dr. Steve Stanley enlists an unlikely team of misfits and daring professionals to engage in a risky medical experiment designed to save her life. Morality, friendship, and love are tested in this gripping novel about life and death. One at a time, each volunteer is taken to The White Light -- a place between life and death where one may consult a Higher Power -- and then fully restored in order to impart the knowledge he or she has gained. When Whitelighters start dying and time is running out, Steve is forced to take extraordinary steps in the name of life and love.
