I have read 4 or 5 books by this author and this is the one I have enjoyed the least. It had to do with a man who comes to life in his casket and if it was a miracle or not. The man who died (Moses) had not been embalmed per Jewish custom and was a vile human being. The stories that different characters at the wake came through with seemed a bit rushed. The part dealing with miracles however was very interesting. I am going to offer his to my Aunt or leave it somewhere between Michigan and South Carolina.
