"I am a man who will always choose the blue heaven over hell, no matter how much it saps away at me." Henry Leyva narrates this novel by C.J. Box as he explores his life after the death of his wife Caitlin and their two daughters in an airplane crash. The story is told in three parts: "Soul" follows Henry's life after the Irish Republican Army (IRA) shoot him, "Body" tells his escape to America, and "Heaven" is where we find him during his final hours on earth before he leaves for the afterlife. Henry struggles with guilt following Caitlin's death because her last words to him were meant to be comforting rather than painful.
