The story

This is how the universe works: Everyone gets a soul mate. And for Christine Barclay, a lonely, frustrated research associate at a national newspaper, it’s a man named Daniel Delacroix, a chef living and working in Washington, DC. But because of a clerical error in Heaven, Daniel died last night before they ever had a chance to meet.

To correct their mistake, agents of Heaven invite Christine to live in a parallel universe where Daniel is still alive. Of course she accepts. But there are differences in this universe. And soon, Christine discovers a dark family secret held in a box of photos. It’s a secret she feels she must avenge. But if she acts on this impulse, she will lose the love of her soul mate.
