  <default-description>&lt;B&gt;A heavenly novel about what truly matters in life&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; In this hilarious and heartwarming first novel, twentynine- year-old Alexandra Dorenfield suddenly finds herself in heaven after an unfortunate encounter with a Mini Cooper. The seventh&#8212;and highest&#8212;level of heaven to be exact. Her dog Peaches is with her; she is reunited with her beloved grandparents; she has the wardrobe of a movie star; and she lives in the house of her dreams next door to a handsome guy. This &lt;I&gt;is&lt;/I&gt; heaven!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; But there&#8217;s a catch. Alex must prove she led a fulfilling existence by writing an essay on the ten best days of her life&#8212; or she will be demoted to a lower level of heaven, where the clothes are last year&#8217;s styles, the men aren&#8217;t quite as handsome, and worst of all, Peaches and her family won&#8217;t be nearby. Witty and inspiring, this divine debut novel dares to ask a material girl&#8212;and the rest of us&#8212;what makes life precious.</default-description>
