Sometimes, the dead
aren’t dead at all and The Other Side holds all the answers we seek.
Melinda has the
perfect life: a great dad, wonderful mother, and her brother Kyle who she
actually likes. Factor in the best of all best friends in the world and life
could not get much better for Melinda. Sadly, it can and will get a whole lot
worse and does in this unique, engulfing young adult novel.
After a horrible
tragedy takes the life of her father, Melinda feels her world crumbling around
her until another person close to her dies and takes the place of her dad…or do
they?
Sometimes, when
people cross over, they aren’t always gone and soon Melinda begins to see her
dead friend and hear the voice of her father who actually DID die; impossible,
she knows, but so real she cannot help but tell others. Her trusting way would
be her downfall and soon Melinda is seen as an unstable, confused girl and
remanded to an insane asylum where she stays for many years; the voices and
faces of the dead her only friends. After years of struggling to understand and
make others believe her tales, Melinda is given one last chance to earn her
freedom from the asylum and from the dead who haunt her every move. The man who
can give her this chance is new doctor, Alex Leever, but can he be trusted?
Will he believe her story? Will you?
