Jennifer Beckett, a wealthy alumna of Harrington High School, returns to her alma mater to introduce a new scholarship competition worth $500,000. Each phase of the competition includes clues, riddles, and various tasks. Included in the Beckett Scholarship Competition are a comedy podcast about death, time dilation, Billy Joel, Harry Potter, and the Lascaux cave paintings. Alex, Peyton, and Cameron, three best friends with complex backgrounds, decide to enter assuming it will be a fun, safe experience. They didn't realize the extreme measures some people would take to win the scholarship until their lives were at risk. Alex, whose gender stays in question until the end of the story, is disturbed by American society. The competition is another example of the unjust world we have created. Peyton uses a quirky sense of humor to hide the truth about her painful past. Cameron tries to forget about his disturbing, bourgeois family while harboring a secret love for his best friend. They all have their issues. The marginalization of teenage stress, anxiety, and family problems continues to take its toll on each of them. Their conversations offer the joy and laughter needed to tolerate life's troubles. And every minute of everyday, Alex's primary struggle is tolerating life.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking account of life after death that has become a source of comfort, inspiration, and solace to millions “I felt a surge of energy, and my spirit was suddenly drawn through my chest and pulled upward. My first impression is that I was free. . . .” On the night of November 19, 1973, following surgery, thirty-one-year-old wife and mother Betty J. Eadie died. This is her extraordinary story of the events that followed, her astonishing proof of life after physical death. She saw more, perhaps than any other person has seen before and shares her almost photographic recollections of the remarkable details. Compelling, inspiring, and infinitely reassuring, her vivid account gives us a glimpse of the peace and unconditional love that awaits us all. More important, Betty's journey offers a simple message that can transform our lives today, showing us our purpose and guiding us to live the way we were meant to—joyously, abundantly, and with love. Praise for Embraced by the Light “The most detailed and spellbinding near-death experience I have ever heard.”—Kimberly Clark-Sharp, president, Seattle International Association of Near-Death Studies
