Book Review: Finding Peace!
Summary: 5 Stars
In this tender work we meet a couple and enter into the core of their lives. A couple just like so many others around the world, yet they were going to have an unexplained visitor who would touch both of their lives in a miraculous way. Both are animal lovers, so when a black Labrador appears at their home one night what could they do but take her in? Although Jim certainly felt a much more immediate attachment than our author did, the little puppy seemed to have been brought to them for a purpose. Whimsey, as she was named, seemed to have no past, and despite our authors desperate tries at finding her rightful owner that never happened, nor was she able to place the dog with anyone else. Whimsey soon became a part of the family and a sister and friend to Paisley, the couples other dog.
The story goes on and the couple lives life and all its struggles and challenges. Unfortunately, unbeknown to his wife, Jim could not handle what he was up against in life and killed himself. The trauma, heartbreak, questions, guilt and blame all began for Rosanne as she struggled to make sense of his death. Here is where she reaches out deeper to a God who loves her and finds solace in Him, and comfort in the companionship of Whimsey, who seemed to know her every thought and emotion.She becomes an anchor, a lighthouse through the storm, and a true friend and companion.
This story was one of life, pure and simple. Life is not often a Rose garden, but is more filled with challenges and sorrows as we walk the journey. In her walk, our author learned a simple yet complex fact. God is ever present, and often uses things, persons, and yes even animals to comfort us in our times of need. There is a lesson here that we need to be open to the knocking at our door with what maybe the very saving grace in the future. It is a story of heartbreak and sorrow, yet it is filled with courage and faith for a better tomorrow. A true heart to heart story.
Summary of She Came from Heaven
A story written from the heart
She Came From Heaven is anything but a cute little doggie book. Rather, it is a kaleidoscope filled with wonderful detailed descriptions of characters, settings and situations that lure the reader into a crisis they never saw coming. The journey back from the frontier of desperation often moved me to tears. The further I got into the story, the more emotion was being poured out. She Came From Heaven has great elements of transition and foreshadowing that build drama and intrigue to the last page.
Writer/Editor - Ginny De Mille
"The dog's identity remained unknown, untraceable. She lived off the radar with no past, no present. Her history had been erased. I started to believe she had been enrolled in The Witness Protection Program. But a witness to what?"
