Sinners & Social Workers

This is the story of eight individuals whose lives...and deaths...overlap, as they meet again ...on the "other side," where each is given a choice of fates, guided by a variety of characters-priests and rabbis, angels and saints-and cajoled by the devil himself.: CHARLIE, the good husband and father, overcome by an inexplicable suicidal depression; PENNY, raised by a caring grandmother, but driven by self-destructive and sadistic urges; MARION, abused as a youngster, yet saintly in her desire to help others; DR. HARRISON, the wealthy Ob-Gyn who could not resist his predatory urges; FATHER BRYAN, able to forgive everyone except himself for failing to protect a murdered child; CARRIE, devoted to her church, but not to her husband; CHRISTOPHER, the "accidental" President who was determined to make the country a better place, even if it cost him his life; and TODD, the Vice President who manipulated the country into a war for his own self- aggrandizement.
