Go on an unforgettable journey, with a woman who has unimaginable
strength. Stephanie Nielson began sharing her life in 2005 on
nieniedialogues.com, drawing readers in with her warmth and candor.
She quickly attracted a loyal following that was captivated by the
upbeat mother happily raising her young children, madly in love
with her husband, Christian (Mr. Nielson to her readers), and
filled with gratitude for her blessed life. However, everything
changed in an instant on a sunny day in August 2008, when Stephanie
and Christian were in a horrific plane crash. Christian was burned
over 40 percent of his body, and Stephanie was on the brink of
death, with burns over 80 percent of her body. She would remain in
a coma for four months. In the aftermath of this harrowing tragedy,
Stephanie maintained a stunning sense of humor, optimism, and
resilience. She has since shared this strength of spirit with
others through her blog, in magazine features, and on "The Oprah
Winfrey Show." Now, in this moving memoir, Stephanie tells the
full, extraordinary story of her unlikely recovery and the
incredible love behind it--from a riveting account of the crash to
all that followed in its wake. With vivid detail, Stephanie
recounts her emotional and physical journey, from her first painful
days after awakening from the coma to the first time she saw her
face in the mirror, the first kiss she shared with Christian after
the accident, and the first time she talked to her children after
their long separation. She also reflects back on life before the
accident, to her happy childhood as one of nine siblings, her
close-knit community and strong Mormon faith, and her fairy-tale
love story, all of which became her foundation of strength as she
rebuilt her life. What emerges from the wreckage of a tragic
accident is a unique perspective on joy, beauty, and overcoming
adversity that is as gripping as it is inspirational. "Heaven Is
Here" is a poignant reminder of how faith and family, love and
community can bolster us, sustain us, and quite literally, in some
cases, save us.
