Len Holder thinks his mother is dead - until she reappears one morning in his living room.

She doesn't remember being dead. She's just confused.

And instead of her burial clothes, she's wearing a Dallas Cowboys warmup suit.

At seventy-eight, Len considers himself a failure. He spent years taking care of Mom while his brother Joey became a famous sportscaster. Now he lives alone, tinkering with a novel he can't seem to finish.

For a week, Len relives a strained relationship with Mom while other mysteries pile up. He keeps hearing fragments of Joey's radio show. His sister reports disturbing phone calls. Strangers he meets look like people from his past. Another stranger has taken over his insurance office.

Then Len gets word that his beloved boss Miranda has been gravely injured in a car accident. Eventually, Miranda's fate and a shocking secret from the past reveal that Sharon Holder's resurrection is not what it seems to be.

The Seven-Day Resurrection is a must-read for anyone who has been thrust into the role of caregiver.
