John O'Rourke had it all, a successful career as a
Journalist for a major city newspaper, a beautiful
loving wife and a young son. His perfect life
comes hurtling down when his wife and son are
killed in a plane crash, while he is in the arms of
another woman.
Consumed with guilt, and emotionally adrift,
John leaves the newspaper and moves across
country to a new job with the hope of a fresh
start at another paper. With the help of cocaine,
large quantities of alcohol, and false friends, he
tries to forgive his past.
While representing his newspaper as a celebrity
bartender for a charitable event, John snorts
enough cocaine to create an embarrassing
scene. In a stupor trying to find his way home,
and in a karmic moment enters a church, and
passes out. After months of drug and alcohol
abuse John's life is circling the drain. As he hits
bottom he is taken through an afterlife unlike
anything he could have imagined. John is given
the ultimate chance to change his life, and
redeem himself, or stay in the hellish afterlife
forever.

I have had the opportunity to review this
amazing book, and it is a knock out! Scott
Taylor shows you a side of life not often talked
about in polite circles. It is not only a life
adventure, but a courageous journey of spirit.
From darkness into the light and then... As a
novelist myself, I am impressed with the depth
of being in this first novel. Cheers to Scott
Taylor, for a most dynamic first novel. This is a
MUST READ!

In Scott Taylor's first novel (Passing Through
Oblivion) guilt,self-destruction, and
redemption are harsh and rollicking steps in
John O'Rourke's riveting dance into oblivion.
(which is) peopled by top hats, gowns, and
jewels. Ont the outside, his new journey has
just begun. Fasten your seatbelts for a great
ride!
