Critical Praise

"Ellen Meister makes a big leap toward the literary in The Other Life, a book where “What if” becomes the most powerful question in the world. This is the thinking woman’s beach read, a love story to the modern family, written with a deep and lovely understanding of mothers and daughters and the sacrifices they’ll make for each other."

—Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Stopped Swimming

"Intriguing, stimulating, original, unpredictable, frightening, utterly engaging --- The Other Life reminded me why I love to read. Ellen Meister is a writer with a limitless future."

—Michael Palmer, New York Times bestselling author of The Second Opinion and The Last Surgeon

"Gripping! A truly fascinating story of love, loss, and a magical place in between."

—Beth Harbison, New York Times bestselling author of Hope in a Jar

"The Other Life is a provocative and unique tale of the road not taken. Ellen Meister puts a magical, masterful spin on one of my favorite questions: "What if?" What if you took both roads? You won't want to miss this one!"

—Sarah Addison Allen, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Chased the Moon
