Father Snow's Farewell

By Artell Smith

Book Overview

What if your father's final days were just the beginning of your real relationship with him?

When sixteen-year-old Pete learns his elderly father has suffered a fatal stroke, he expects a traditional, somber grieving process. Instead, his dad's spirit appears to him as a vibrant twenty-two-year-old, acting as Pete's personal "transition specialist".

Guided by this youthful ghost, Pete navigates the chaotic days leading up to the funeral, surviving everything from a disastrous family snowmobile accident to a life-changing turn as a hospital Santa Claus. Along the way, his dad reveals profound secrets about the universe, the eternal nature of the soul, and his own past regrets.

Father Snow's Farewell is a heartwarming, unconventional coming-of-age story. It beautifully blends the messy, often humorous reality of losing a parent with a wondrous exploration of the afterlife, proving that even when our loved ones are gone, they are never truly lost.
