Synopsis

How would your life change -- right now, today -- if "life" after "death" was proven to exist?

In SOUL SURVIVOR, a dying physician by the name of Bernie White decides to volunteer for an experiment that will hopefully realize the evidence needed to prove life exists after death, and change the entire world.

Throughout the book, we also follow the lives and relationships of three couples who at some point meet, and are ultimately deeply affected by, Bernie. First, there's Harry and Marion Kirby: a loud-mouthed, inconsiderate cab driver married to a quietly repentant woman who despairs constantly over the loss of their only child. They live in Chicago, which is also where Bernie resides.

Then, in Los Angeles, we meet Dick and Theresa Pearson: they're young, black, beautiful, and each are very successful in their respective fields, the source of their serious marital problems.

Bill Anderson and Anne Maybury live in San Francisco and work closely as executives of a large ad firm. Their lives become quiet involved after Bill's wife commits suicide.

Adding an interesting depth to each of these troubled couples, the reader is given a periodic peek into the characters’ subconscious wanderings -- whether in their dreams or other comparably relaxed states. These "learning" experiences remain unknown to each character's waking mind, but allow the reader to have a certain insight into their personalities and present some interesting possibilities to ponder.

All in all, SOUL SURVIVOR is a very timely book reflecting reality as it now exists, together with certain speculation as to our minds' untapped reservoir of what one might call. "Universal Knowledge".

About this title

About the Author:

Jolinda Pizzirani was born in Santa Barbara, California, and began writing short stories as a child to express her fascination with all things mysterious. Her love of the arts also led her to frequently participate in many stage productions, including a supporting role in the Alhecama Theatre production of "Oklahoma" at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara.

Jolinda has won awards and contests for her writing over the years, including her collection of poetry. She has published a nonfiction book (soon to be republished by Journey Publications) titled "What’s a Mother to do? The ABC’s of Raising a Child" which she co-authored with her sister. She has also written several other novels of a metaphysical nature, including the "Psychic Princess" series, "Soul Survivor", her poetry compilation entitled "Inspirations", and is currently working on a novel called "The Journey".

Jolinda currently lives with her husband, Patrizio, and cat in Summerland, California near her hometown of Santa Barbara. She works part-time and dedicates much of the rest of her time to her writing, when not taking long walks on the beach with Patrizio or watching the dolphins play. Jolinda and Patrizio’s two children have finished college and live nearby.

Jolinda’s main goal – in this life – is to heighten others’ awareness via the written word as to choices and circumstances we all face as we travel the path towards our destiny. You are invited to join her in this quest by reading her novels and poetry.
