Abstract: "Death has lost its definition" is the heading on the cover of this novel. The Search International research team is assembled once again, this time at a second community and Village established near Millersburg, Ohio. They are asked to study a strange experience that happened to founder, George Evans; one that changed his mind about the "process" of dying.

David Kasten is called upon again to report the team's discoveries to the world. He inadvertently causes hundreds from nearby towns to converge on the Village in hopes of being healed by Rachel Evans. Rachel urgently asks Kasten to fly to California to help the Evans’ daughter, Jennifer, with a terrifying situation resulting from her late husband’s involvement with Search. George and Rachel join him as the FBI and local law enforcement become involved.

Upon return to Ohio, George is asked to address physicians and scientists at the Mayo Clinic, reporting on his strange experience and the research team’s conclusions. LaShauna Jackson, part of the Search research team, makes a discovery that changes her life. Rachel’s gift of healing produces unexpected visitors, causing George, Rachel and Kasten to conclude that their lives will no longer be the same.
