  I just now finished the final pages of Raising the Dead. 'Awww', is what I said aloud along with shedding a few precious tears of joy. The characters within this book have rekindled the love in my heart for all of my own friends and family, current and past, who are there to guide us and teach us throughout our lives. You've done a wonderful job of weaving the ups and downs of everyday life into a heartwarming tale that will strengthen all who read it. Now I must reread Writing in Wet Cement! Thank you for sharing your perspective on LIFE, in such honest and touching ways that bring healing to my soul. Blessings to you, Jayne.

  This book was given to me by a friend and when I began reading my first impression was that it was too descriptive. Details, details, details. As I continued to read I found that these details as the story goes on formed a basis for an intriguing story of thoughtful and surprising characters. It turns out that I couldn't put the book down. I was bounced from sadness to joy to wonder at the author's use of words and changes of mood. I was then flummoxed by the addition of a second story contained within the book which made everything crystal clear. I had read Ms. Lisbeth's previous book, Writing in Wet Cement, and this one convinced me that there is an upcoming bestseller in the future.

• Paula Stahel

  Jayne Lisbeth has conjured a sweet story of a young, naive newlywed whose world opens to new ideas, skills, and the discovery of fulfilling friendships after an unexpected mentor literally walks into her life. And ultimately comes to understand the lasting power of love.

  The Goose & Gander selection for BEST BEACH OR POOL BOOK: Raising the Dead by Jayne Lisbeth. Un-put-downable! Just like her debut masterpiece- Writing in Wet Cement - this book is fun, enthralling, and a page-turner. We love the prose, the very engaging characters, and (of course), the story! Jayne is a Tampa based author and her husband, Tim, illustrated this enlightening read!
