NOTES

Daisy, age twelve, has died in a car accident. She finds herself in the afterworld, which resembles nothing more than a job center. Her soul is being returned to Earth, but not as a human being&#x;she&#x;s returning as a dog. A dog who retains Daisy&#x;s thoughts and pluck and is determined to get back to her parents and to get back home. What she doesn&#x;t expect is that life as a dog named Ray would come with such worries&#x;and moments of jubilation&#x;as she grows to care for others in a whole new way. -- amazon.com
