The Barn Dance by James F. Twyman

There are people who consider James Twyman a huckster and New Age cultist, but whatever you think of the man, he has written a thought-provoking book. The Barn Dance posits that there are a few places in the world where the veil between heaven and earth is lifted and the living can make contact with the dead. In his introduction, Twyman writes that he is publishing his story as a novel, but to him it is absolutely a true story. He meets his dead wife at a barn dance and proceeds to learn lessons about his life that his soul has not yet absorbed. I have lots of quibbles with his theology but enjoyed his book, anyway. It is a fast easy read.
