The Searchers.
The aunt he doesn't at first recognize, a damaged girl, an ex-cop, and a beautiful woman who may not be quite what she appears, all these acquaint him with this new life and consequences of the choices he has made.
Publishers Weekly says of The Searchers: "Smith writes with imagination...This will certainly entertain..."
Foreword Reviews comments: "The work of this evocative author may soothe those fearful of death or frighten those who never gave their own demise much thought, but she never fails to intrigue and entertain."
Selected as a finalist in the USA Best Books 2011 Awards in the "Fiction: Visionary" division.

"This beautiful novel is an intelligently conceived, articulately written story…that offers deep insights into the mysteries of love, life, and beyond."
"Airline passengers who learn they are each bound for a different destination serve as a metaphor for traveling through life toward the hereafter."
--Publishers Weekly
Did you ever wonder what it was like for civilians in England and America during World War II? Would you like to read first hand accounts of it?
You get that and more from this story. It tells of a man who lost his parish, but never his desire to serve his church. It is a story of a man's undying faith in his God and God's providence.
