Synopsis

Seven days to decide if life is worth living.

At fifteen, Sammy is drowning in grief and abuse. Convinced the only escape is to end her life, she sets a seven-day countdown.

But when a new friend enters her world and she receives a mysterious invitation to Heaven, everything begins to change. What she discovers there challenges her despair, reshapes her faith, and forces her to choose between giving up or embracing a future filled with hope, healing, and God’s love.

Blending contemporary realism with Christian fantasy, A Glimpse of Glory tackles tough topics—depression, suicide, trauma, grief, and redemption—through a faith-filled, inspiring lens. Readers of Christian YA fiction, Christian teen books about mental health, or inspirational coming-of-age stories will find this novel deeply moving and redemptive.

Note: This book contains references to abuse, grief, and suicidal thoughts. It is written from a hopeful, redemptive Christian perspective and is recommended for mature teens (ages 14+) and adults seeking Christian fiction that inspires hope in the dark.
