Can't wait to get to heaven [a novel]

Bestselling author Fannie Flagg (Fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café) returns with a heartwarming comedy about an 80-year-old woman named Mrs. Shimfessle, who falls out of a fig tree in her front yard one morning. What follows is a near-death experience that gives a comic turn to the age old question, what happens to us after we die? As Mrs. Shimfessle returns to life and earthbound consciousness, she spots a peculiar shoe on the rooftop of the local hospital -- a small sign of a bigger mystery still to come.

  • "Life is the strangest thing. One minute, Mrs Elner Shimfissle is up in her tree, picking figs to make jam, and the next thing she knows, she is off on an adventure she never dreamed of, running into people she never in a million years expected to meet. In this comedy-mystery, those near and dear to Elner discover something wonderful: Heaven is actually right here, right now, with people you love, neighbours you help, friendships you keep."
