Book Description

"A box of tissues should be included in the purchase price of this book.... I finished THE COLOR OF HEAVEN in a matter of hours, but I've no doubt the read and the lessons imparted through Sophie's story will stay with me... probably forever. THE COLOR OF HEAVEN is an incredibly poignant and unbelievably gripping novel, deserving Romance Junkies' highest rating."
FIVE BLUE RIBBONS - Chris at Romance Junkies


A deeply emotional tale about Sophie Duncan, a successful columnist whose world falls apart after her daughter’s unexpected illness and her husband’s shocking affair. When it seems nothing else could possibly go wrong, her car skids off an icy road and plunges into a frozen lake. There, in the cold dark depths of the water, a profound and extraordinary experience unlocks the surprising secrets from Sophie’s past, and teaches her what it means to truly live...and love.

Full of surprising twists and turns and a near-death experience that will leave you breathless, this story is not to be missed.

"A gripping, emotional tale you'll want to read in one sitting." - New York Times bestselling author, Julia London

"Brilliantly poignant mainstream tale." – 4 ½ starred review, Romantic Times

Watch for the sequel THE COLOR OF DESTINY - Summer 2013.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story of Forgiveness! February 13, 2011
By erntefreude
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I like novels about near-death experiences, and after death scenarios, but most novels are so disappointing, either lacking in credibility, or overly religious and dogmatic in nature, preaching punishment and fear. This story has depth, credibility and insight into the practicalities of forgiveness. I won't talk about the story-line, because you just have to read this very well executed, lovely story. Actually, it is not overdone to say this story is rather brilliant. It works on you, even after you finished reading it, lingering in one's conscious mind, working a miracle of forgiveness. Even if it is "just" a story, it is very powerful. The descriptions, the conversations evoke strong, deep emotions, which trigger inner reflection and in my case, healing from the past. I would have paid a lot more money to read this book. It is a unbelievable that this book is offered at such a low price. You can not go wrong, at all, to include this book in your Kindle Collection. I look forward to reading more from this author. I am hooked! Enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Really? March 6, 2011
By Marylou
Format:Kindle Edition
Well, I read this book based on all of the 5 star reviews! I enjoy a near death experience story as well as the next person, but this was way too unbelievable and trite. I wish I would have seen the list of this author`s other works before I read this book instead of after. Harlequen Romances? Oh! so that may explain why, when the mother is telling her daughter about her undying love for the girl's father, she relates their first lovemaking complete with when exactly she "climaxed"! TMI mom!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true page turner February 18, 2011
By angela
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was great.!!! It not only kept me interested, I couldn't wait to get back to it. I got a sample of this book before I bought it. Well, once I started reading the sample I had to have it, bought it and couldn't stop reading it. I actually put aside what I had been reading because I couldn't put this one down. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A very compelling story.
