The Waystation is a resting place on the journey between life and death for the people who pass through on their way to either heaven or hell. In a cross between hard crime fiction and a spiritual parable, The Waystation takes you on an odyssey from the darkness of this world, to the serenity of the afterlife. It carries you from the ugliness of the drug business, racism, abuse, and murder, to the joy that comes when all that ceases to matter anymore. The Waystation is a place to rest and prepare for your real life to begin.
5.0 out of 5 stars I'll finish it without it feeling like a "chore"

I'm not necessarily a critic...I read to be entertained. If I can stay interested in a book, I'll finish it without it feeling like a "chore". That being said I was engaged with this story until the end. It offers a intriguing view of what could happen once we've "shuffled off our mortal coil".
A very solid job for a first time author. I look forward to your next foray into the literary world.
5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put this book down!

What a unique premise! This is one of those books you don’t want to put down. Jameson has created a cast of rich characters and takes us on a journey through their lives, deaths, and the beyond. Some will get redemption and others will go to hell. The path that gets them there is the true heart of the story, and what sets it apart from other books in the genre. It is a mix of crime, suspense, and spirituality that seamlessly flow together into one of the fictional finds of the year.

MY THOUGHTS
So refreshing. A different book than most. It isn't your normal go to Heaven or Hell. We all live different lives, some good, some bad. We choose what kind of life we live, sometimes. And sometimes life chooses for us. Regardless, everyone's time comes when we leave the good or leave the dark, evil things in life behind. Things such as crime, drugs, racial conflicts, the struggles, the abuse and I could go on. But what happens when your life on earth ends? You can't stop the fact, it will end. You can't hide, you can't run. No matter what, it will happen to us all. Where do you go from here? We have always been told that you go to heaven or hell. But couldn't there be a resting place, a stopping point midway? This is a place where your new life begins, a place where LIFE begins. Whether it be one place or the other where that new life is. But let your imagination think it is a place where there is peace, the struggles are over and you can rest and relax. A place where you don't have to worry about the hustle and bustle, where time means absolutely nothing. The author gives us that place through the lives of the characters. This isn't my story. This isn't your story. It is theirs! So if you want to know what happens when your time is up, grab something to snack on, get settled in your favorite chair and get ready for the ride of your LIFE. Your present life. When you're done, you can rest assured there is The Waystation, waiting for you when your time is up. It will be time to start LIVING! WELCOME TO THE WAYSTATION!
5.0 out of 5 stars Left me feeling peaceful

This book gave me an internal peace in the end after living through the pain and experiences of the characters. Life takes us through many twist and turns in its journey but, what happens from here I truly believe the author and her vision is spot on. I look forward to many other adventures from Laurie Jameson and The Waystation.
