The novel is cast as an autobiography of Lazarus, who, when he dies, goes to the World of Spirits between earth and heaven that is a staging ground that everyone goes to before being assigned to heaven or hell. It is presented as a eutopia even though those spirits who will go to hell are there. There he meets his family, including his brother who died young and who has grown and married. They have all built magnificent homes. See also 1869 Holcombe, 1870 Holcombe, Our Children in Heaven, and 1871 Holcombe.
