Sinopse
The TV is on, and I’m on the couch, leaning as far back as I can. My heavy, indecisive brown eyes - their lenses blurred ever since my tumultuous, too-soon entrance into the world - flutter between open and shut. I am half-watching half-listening to a football game on a Sunday afternoon. Was that the doorbell?
“Who is it?" I call out, expecting to hear my daughter, Megan’s, voice. These days, she is the one person who visits me. The only person who knows I’m making my home in this little oasis fashioned from wood felled by my own hand.
“Terry, it’s Mom. I’m here to help you move”.
My mom? That’s not possible. She’s...
Wait. To help me move? Oh, God.
I rise from the couch and glance back at my lifeless body.
Life is a journey. So is the afterlife.
At the end of his life, Terrence McDonald must discover its meaning, or he’ll be banned from the afterlife forever, and his soul will cease to exist.
Join Terrence - and those who love him - on a poignant and unforgettable journey through a life at once wonderful and harrowing.
Learn what Terrence learns. See what Terrence sees. By this provocative story’s end, listeners may even learn a thing or two about themselves.
Resumo da Crítica
“What Death Taught Terrence offers a powerful, painful, and poignant look at the life of a man rarely encountered in fiction. Derek McFadden’s writes with an insight few can match.” (T.F. Allen, author of The Night Janitor and The Keeper)
“A good story allows the reader to experience life as another person, and McFadden made me do so on a deeply personal level. If you like the works of Mitch Albom, I think you’ll find What Death Taught Terrence a worthy addition to your library and the reading of it a lifeaffirming journey.” (Bradley Harper, Edgar-Award Finalist, author of A Knife in the Fog and Queen’s Gambit)
“In What Death Taught Terrence, Derek McFadden builds a world that satisfies both our desire for imagination and our need for personal introspection. I found this (story) immediately immersive, and it stuck with me long after I finished. McFadden is doing something rare in today’s fiction - exploring the limits of what we will believe to form a better understanding of who we are.” (Alex Dolan, author of The Euthanist and The Empress of Tempera)
