After the death of her adoptive mother, Ava Saunders comes upon a peculiar photograph, sealed and hidden away in a crawl space. The photo shows a shuttered, ramshackle house on top of a steep hill. On the back, a puzzling inscription: Destiny calls us. Ava is certain that it's a clue to her elusive past. Twenty-three years ago, she'd been found wrapped in a yellow blanket in the narthex of the Holy Saviour Catholic Church - and rescued - or so she'd been told. Her mother claimed there was no more to the story.

Had me in tears at the end
This was a very moving story about a man facing his mistakes he had made when young following a violent death and the steps he takes to be able to move on. The narrator was very good at making you aware of the different characters.

Intriguing
What made the experience of listening to The Body Departed the most enjoyable?
The story and narration were both good. I liked the approach to death along the lines of What Dreams May Come.
What other book might you compare The Body Departed to and why?
It was similar to Richard Matheson's 1978 book What Dreams May Come.
What does Peter Berkrot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He adds more emotion, as if James is really talking and telling the story to the reader.
If you could take any character from The Body Departed out to dinner, who would it be and why?
The spirit who embodies the statue of Christ, who isn't really Christ, so that I could learn secrets of the universe and the meaning behind it.
Any additional comments?
The story told through the eyes of Jacob was heartbreaking. It was hard to listen to how he died.

Great story
I got caught up in this immediately. I hadn't read J R Rain before but the storyline and concept intrigued me. The story is told from the perspective of a murdered man, now a ghost, who needs to work through some things before he feels able to 'move on'. There's quite a bit of religious theory/belief woven into the story but it is mainly focused on the protagonist's wish for atonement and, as he sees it, to save his soul. Loved the ending and the last few chapters brought a lump to the throat. Loved the audio and will be looking for more from this author.
