Quote #10
I tried to piece my memories together, working backward. I remembered the beating wings I'd heard shortly after I flung myself off the rafter. Without any doubt, I knew I'd died. I knew an angel had come to carry my soul away.

'I came back?' I said, hoping I wasn't filling myself with false hope. (30.13-16)
