Publisher's Synopsis
"I've known the author, Audrey Levy, since college, and this is truly her story." --Jay Leno; Jimmy Splendor was an atheist. When he woke up in Heaven, he didn't believe he was dead, and he certainly didn't believe he was in Heaven. Greeted by his father, whom he hated on Earth, Jimmy took off running for seven years Earth time (only a few minutes in Heaven). He finally met an angel named Oleo, who encouraged him to help his former wife, Noelle, who was still having severe nightmares years after Jimmy's passing. Jimmy and Oleo visit Noelle in her dreams, and stimulate her to write a book about her life in order to purge her emotional baggage. Through the innovative method of written conversations with the angels of her loved ones, including her parents, this compelling work is deeply felt and personal. It is also particularly inspirational, in that it describes how one can use the process of writing as a means of examining and dealing with the most painful episodes of one's life. Noelle's Ark is a powerfully cathartic and spiritual experience-one you will never forget. "Believers and non-believers alike can agree that Audrey Levy writes with extraordinary intelligence, passion, and imagination. It's a heartfelt, unique story." --David Rosenfelt, author of novels featuring lawyer Andy Carpenter; "A real, feel-good read that uplifts and entertains. I recommend it." --Jim Jennewein, co-author of RuneWarriors, co-screenwriter of "The Flintstones" and "Richie Rich"; "Noelle's Ark is in the Chicken Soup for the Soul genre, which are perpetual bestsellers." --Martin Baum, Founding Partner of CAA (Creative Artists Agency); "Noelle's Ark is one of the better visionary novels I have read in a long time. It's a wonderful story about ghosts and angels and love beyond death. Don't miss it!" --Robert S. Friedman, President and Co-Founder of Hampton Roads Publishing Co., Original Publisher of Conversations with God; "The use of angels for literary purposes has been most effectively demonstrated by Tony Kushner in his epic drama, Angels in America. Audrey Levy has used this device in Noelle's Ark to connect with her richly detailed exploration of the meaningful relationships in her background. It is very moving." --Bertram Slaff, M.D., Dept. of Psychiatry, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, New York; "I already believe that life doesn't end here, and Noelle's Ark wonderfully addresses that possibility." --Curt Rouanzoin, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Approved Consultant in EMDR
