OAK HARBOR, Wash. - Aug. 30, 2022 - PRLog -- Teens Brennan and Olivia live across the country from one another and couldn't be more different. But they have one thing in common—they both commit suicide on the same day. Landing in a train station where they will receive tickets to either heaven or hell, the teens are given a second chance. An angel gives them tickets back to the living, but their tickets are switched accidentally and they wake up in each other's bodies. Now, they must figure how to undo their wrongs while living the other person's life.

Daniel Santos says the inspiration behind Life is Inevitable was sparked by the death of a friend. "She took her life a month before I graduated high school, and I always wondered, 'what if I could have her back?' That question started the entire story. Over time, I learned there were things going on in her life that I didn't know about. When I learned how bad her living conditions were, the novel turned into a story about abuse, neglect, and trauma."

Early reviews for Life is Inevitable praise the author's efforts in depicting a riveting story, dealing with such traumatic issues with a fresh, unique perspective.
  • Reader Views says, "It's highly distinctive, and even with the weighty subject matters, the story is told in a refreshing, new manner. The author paints clear, though often disturbing pictures, but through it all, there is a sense of hope."  
  • A Reedsy reviewer notes, "The strong points of the book are its pace which is constant throughout, and its plot thread which is easy to follow and flows… I had a clear idea of Brennan and Olivia as characters within the book, especially Brennan and this is a good thing."
Life is Inevitable (ISBN: 979-8986616216, Independently Published, 2022) is available for purchase on Amazon.com and other online resources.
