What if the material world is not all that exists?

From Amazon.com:
In 2175, scientists race to be the first to resurrect humans in an effort to supplement the population on the long-settled planet of Meritus.
Human resurrection is a dream SJ shared with her scientist father, but he passed away before witnessing it. After finishing the final stages of her bird resurrection trials, she is on track to complete the goal, except for one thing.
She has run out of money.
Due to a political misstep, her research lab lost its funding, and her bank refused to extend her loan.
When she turns to her rich and famous new boyfriend, Cole, for help, he offers a unique proposal, which she accepts, believing the reward of a revitalized life justifies any cost. …
Ann McFarland’s debut novel moves between two very different worlds. One narrative serves as a cautionary tale of nihilism, while the other brings gloriously thrilling hope. Jumping back and forth between the two only emphasizes the contrast between them.
The story treats loss and grief, the futility of well-intentioned but misguided human intervention, and the power of choice.
It’s both suspenseful and thought-provoking! I highly recommend this Great Weekend Read.
Thanks for reading,
