Miss Witherspoon April 8, 2011

Veronica, already scarred by too many failed relationships, finds the world a frightening place. So she has committed suicide, and is now in what she expected to be heaven but is instead something called the Bardo (the netherworld in Tibetan Buddhism), and the forces there keep trying to make her reincarnate. So far she's thwarted these return visits to earth with a sort of "spiritual otherworldly emergency brake system" she seems to have. A lovely if strong-willed Indian spirit guide named Maryamma, however, is intent on getting Veronica back to earth so she can learn the lessons her soul is supposed to learn. In the end, Miss W finds her own personal way to make sense of that entreaty, and she finally agrees to return to earth to help...well, save the planet basically.
