One Step Away
John Kenton, a young man caught between limiting parental guidance and an imagination fired by hidden meaning, is killed one evening by a lorry as he cycles home from school along the icy roads of his West Yorkshire village. Death provides a choice to go with a catcher to his next stage in life in the afterworld or remain ‘between worlds’, closer to his home and his reality. This is a world of denial and conflict, populated by those fearing judgement of their lives on Earth, the Leaves. Before going with the catcher, an ancient link forges a connection between him and one such Leaf, Simon, kindling a quest that he must somehow free him from his own misjudgement. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery, he learns how the afterworld is structured and organised and meets others like him. This reunites him with his partner, who like him is descended from an apparently extinct and mythical bloodline. She awakens him to their love and journeys together, spanning almost five hundred years. Past life times and true identity revealed, he and his friends are brought into conflict with the Leaves who hold Simon and torment his family still living on Earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2021

This is a lovely story. It’s a comfort to those who have loved and lost, a guide for spiritual progress and a great comfort in thinking that life never really ends it is a continuous journey of learning and evolving.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was caught between not being able to put it down and wanting to stop and let the words sink in!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2021

As an avid reader I'm rarely seen without a book in hand, however it's been a long time since a book spoke to me in the way that One Step Away did.

The words weren't just on the page, I was living and experiencing them and I was caught in that place between not being able to put it down for wanting to read more and yet wanting to stop after every page to really let the words sink in!

In my view, it takes a very gifted author to write a novel that moves you deeply enough to question your understanding of yourself, others and the world we live in. It doesn't just stop when the final page has been read, it sticks with you, and has influenced my thoughts ever since. It's the kind of book that I can see myself going back to time and time again and gaining more from it each time.

From therapy to the more than and back again, I think this book will speak to everyone in it's own way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2021

I’m about of a quarter of the way through the book, and in the such small amount I’ve read it has me hooked, I quite honestly really enjoy this book, the storyline is so well put together and is very educational, it’s such a great book! It really gets you thinking..!
I shall continue reading and will post my thoughts, but I have nothing but good things to say about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastical story of love and life lessons

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2021

A fantastical story of love and life lessons. A great introduction for those not versed in the spiritual world and will strongly resonate with those who are.
Great references to inner child work, chakra balancing and energy clearance. This book could introduce the reader to investigate these references further, along with shamanism and mediumship.
A brilliant read, a story of love, family and friendship. Had tears in my eyes at times, and much laughter too.
