something quite remarkable here, deftly juggling all this social commentary and a
rather blandly sympathetic protagonist with a sharp command of language.

Schultz has created a delightful cast of lost souls...Heaven is Small is a keen examination of life and the afterlife, brimming with intelligence and wit.
