Entering the afterlife due to a hit and run accident, a successful author learns she can observe the earthly lives of her nearly grown children and is also permitted three "nudges" to alter the outcome of events.

Recently deceased Vivian Howe is granted three nudges in the afterlife to change events below on Earth. But with her family members teetering on the edge, she'll have to think carefully about where to use them.

"On a perfect June day, Vivian Howe, author of thirteen beach novels and mother of three nearly grown children, is killed in a hit-and-run car accident while jogging near her home on Nantucket. She ascends to the Beyond where she's assigned to a Person named Martha, who allows Vivi to watch what happens below for one last summer. Vivi also is granted three 'nudges' to change the outcome of events on earth, and with her daughter Willa on her third miscarriage, Carson partying until all hours, and Leo currently 'off again' with his high-maintenance girlfriend, she'll have to think carefully where to use them."--Container.
