This may sound like the weirdest "good read" ever but it starts with the rape and murder of a teenage girl and then moves on to her looking at her family coping from "her heaven" (not a christian book so dont all freak please) and her/ their perspective on what happened. Its been doing the rounds at work lately and was passed on to me. I was quite choked at the end. Beautifully written.

I've read it, H C, I thought it was really good - poignant and quite cleverly written. You're right, it's not a christian book, and doesn't attempt to be. I liked it.
