A sequel to “The Gates Ajar” (1868), it is written in the form of a diary and continues the protagonist’s exploration of alternative ideas concerning the afterlife. The book was extremely popular when first published, and became one of the second best-selling religious novels of the nineteenth century. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward (1844–1911) was an author and pioneering feminist, famous for challenging traditional gender roles and Christian ideas concerning the afterlife.
