Exit Point
Laura Langston
(Author)Description
Logan always takes the easy way out.
After a night of drinking and driving he wakes up to find he has been involved in a senseless car accident and is dead. With the help of his guide, Wade, and the spirit of his grandmother, he realizes he has taken the wrong exit--he wasn't meant to die. His life had a purpose--to save his sister--but he took the easy way out and he failed. Now, before he can rest in peace, he has to try and save his sister from a future no child should face. He will only get one chance and he cannot afford to fail this time--for Amy's sake and for his own.
