Beyond the darkness

by Angie Fenimore

Editorial Reviews From Library Journal Unlike Betty J. Eadie and other near-deathers who have written best-selling accounts of their close calls, Fenimore did not experience an epiphany when her heart stopped. Here, she tells of her brief, hellish tour of you-know-where. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review In 1991 the author, a wife and mother, decided to take her own life in the hopes of finding peace. Her near-death experience was not a heavenly encounter, however, but a brush with a nightmare. Her journey to hell and back is charted in an astoundingly vivid account which proves hard to put down. -- Midwest Book Review
