 Life
does not end just because you die. This is the first of many lessons
Sherrie is faced with when her life is tragically cut short at the age
of fourteen. Overcome with a sense of loss and desperation, Sherrie is
suddenly thrust into the unknown and a Heaven she never could have
imagined. It is a Heaven where there is no one answer to anything; a
Heaven where lives are played out like movies and flowers grow tall in
each individual’s garden. There, with the help of her spirit guide,
Sera, she must review her own life in order to move on to the next
level. In order to do this, she must learn to let go of the things—and
people—she cares for, come to terms with her unhappy past, accept that
which she cannot change, and forgive the mother who never loved her.

Interesting Perspective...
Local Review by William Hovey II
Stacy Baggett, in her book, Ordinary World, provides a unique glimpse into the other-side. The main character, Sherrie, goes on a journey with Sera, her guardian angel, after her life ends at the young age of fourteen. Sherrie travels back and forth between the physical and the spiritual worlds and gets to see how her family and friends have coped with her death. She must come to grips with her new reality and come to terms with the misfortune that transpired in her short existence on earth before she can move on in the world to come.
One point that Baggett makes through the character of Sherrie is that this physical life is not eternal and that there is a vast complex universe outside of our physical dimension that we do not understand. Even though Ordinary World is a work of fiction, it challenges the traditional Judeo-Christian view of what transpires after death⎯namely, that one dies and either goes to heaven or hell for an eternity⎯and describes life after death differently than the Western religious traditions do.
Baggett gives the reader a different perspective of what happens after death. After reading this book, one will have gained a new possibility of what may occur after death, and at the very least, be left pondering the notions of what may come.

Yuba
Feather Hills, part of the Images of America series published by
Arcadia Press, is an absolutely wonderful historical outline of the
Yuba County communities between Marysville and the Sierra
Nevadas. The Yuba and Feather Rivers flank a rugged portion of
the Sierra Nevada
as they rush south. Gold in creeks and streams here attracted thousands
of treasure hunters who panned, dug, or scoured the hills with
hydraulic jets of water.
