The Soul’s Awakening
What if the afterlife is just the beginning?

“The book constantly blurs the line between what’s tragic and what’s absurd, and that’s part of its power.” Literary Titan

The Soul’s Awakening, by Shireen Anne Jeejeebhoy is a deeply moving journey through life, death, and the realms beyond.
Charlotte Elisabeth has chosen to end her suffering through euthanasia, only to awaken in an unfamiliar, soul-stirring space—caught between life and death in the Earth-Heaven Interdimensional Expanse. Disoriented and disillusioned, she is confronted by the horrifying realization that death is not the escape she expected.
In this strange new realm, Charlotte must face the Distortans—mysterious, otherworldly beings that challenge her very essence with unrelenting, probing questions.
As she is pushed to confront her past, her choices, and her deepest fears, Charlotte’s survival depends on her ability to embrace the truth of who she is, and to answer the questions that hold her prisoner.
The Soul’s Awakening, book one of a metaphysical trilogy, is an exploration of self-discovery, spiritual transformation, and the quest for redemption. With rich philosophical themes and a compelling narrative, this spiritual fantasy will captivate fans of religious fiction, spiritual journeys, and thought-provoking fantasy.
Can Charlotte find peace and acceptance, or will she remain forever lost in the endless questions of the afterlife?
Are you ready to face the unknown?

At the moment of my death, my life began.
I was upset. Angry. Horrified.
And confused.
Looking back to that moment in the Solar Age, I found the voices the most unsettling, certain my dying brain had created them and not daring to ask who they were.
My existence had ended because I’d met a doctor who understood me. Why then, voices?
“Why is she surprised?”
Chimes, like tiny silver bells, slivered the air.
“You know why, Blair.”
