Across the Soul's Boundary, an Epic in Seven Volumes Lifekeys

How would you react if, before your twelfth birthday, two angels yanked you to a place outside the universe and asked if you would help them with a cosmic testing to determine if everyone alive (and the universe itself) was worthy to continue existing? They explain how they'll be watching your growth over the years, focusing in particular on four major life decisions-which they call "lifekeys"-to see if you can figure out the meaning and purpose of life and so to qualify as the person heroic enough to help them. Would you be willing to try-even to fail? Would you risk everything to discover the deepest essences of life? A pretty tall order for a kid? Follow the boy, then the man, David Metternich, as he struggles from his roots on a thoroughbrod race horse ranch in California to the mysterious, glittering eastern Boundary of the universe where all meaning seems to begin and to end. What is the Boundary-something physical? spiritual? universal? personal? good? evil? knowable at all? The supernatural beings imply that the lifekeys are somehow buried there, but David has no idea how to look for them or even what they are. With his non-stop humor along with a dazzling and larger-than-life personal style, even a certain quietly majestic humanity, David confronts his four major life's choices with intensity and sincerity of heart but with the confusion and uncertainty we all feel in the presence of life's most profound ambiguities, its complex joys, and bottomless sorrows. Always pushed by an awful awareness that the fate of the universe is somehow tangled with his choices, still he is never sure if he's decided correctly, purely. Will he discover our purpose, the reasons for our being alive? Come along on David's journey to discover the deepest meaning as well.Alba, Kathy is the author of 'Across the Soul's Boundary, an Epic in Seven Volumes Lifekeys', published 2005 under ISBN 9780970990938 and ISBN 0970990936.
