Heaven is Here, Stephanie Nielson

Heaven is Here: An incredible story of hope, triumph and everyday joy, by Stephanie Nielson is an inspiring memoir. Nielson shares the heartbreaks of her life and how they not only strengthened her faith in Christ, but also strengthened her marriage. Her life in the spotlight began in 2005 as a blogger. Gaining the attention of a large follower base, Nielson captivated those who followed her blog about the joys of motherhood and married life while sharing her gratitude for blessings and instilling hope.

In August 2008, everything changed for Nielson and those she loves. Her and her husband Christian were in a terrible plane crash. While Christian burned over 40% of his body, Stephanie had burns covering over 80% of her body, and was straddling death's door. She remained in a coma for four months. Waking up was a nightmare. They psychical pain was unbearable, yet it didn't hold a candle to the emotional pain that came with seeing herself in the mirror, her children's harsh reactions to her image, and her feelings of inadequacy as both mother and wife.

Nielson was able to pull from her childhood foundation of being raised in the LDS church as well as the support of those who loved her and constantly reminded her of Heavenly Father's love for her, in order to pull through this billowing tragedy. She gives readers a unique perspective on where joy, beauty and love are found and reminds them of the foundational truths that help strengthen home and family.
