Every so often there comes along a book that changes the way we think. One that starts a new trend. I firmly believe that this book will be one of those. If you have read and enjoyed Beatty J. Eadies "Embraced By The Light," Danion Brinkely's "Saved By The Light, " Whitley Striebers "Communion," along with "The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield, and "Conversations With God" by Neale Donald Walsh, then strap in your seats because here is a book that has all of their elements and more! Sometimes we don't think before we act or say things. In this book you will shutter at the mere fact of how we as human beings treat each other and other forms of life on this planet. We are allowing ourselves to live a lie and ignore what we have to offer. I don't think I have ever met someone who has suffered more, and maintained their dignity, pride, and intelligence as much as k.t. Frankovich. If you have had the pleasure to meet her, like I have, you would know the minute you speak with her that she has experienced what would take many lifetimes for any one of us to experience and witness. She is someone we all need to stop, listen, and learn from. Mark my words. They say that as we pass through lives our soul advances to the next level in spirituality. In this life k.t. has taken a leap forward that many of us can hopefully learn from in her book and leap forward right behind her. This book makes me want to give her a great big hug!

This is not a book. It is a gateway into the mind and heart of k.t. Frankovich -- and to everyone who has known pain and and struggling of the environment and of the spirit. k.t. Frankovich was blessed with special gifts, indeed, and one of them is knowing how to link with people everywhere who have suffered, overcome and rejoiced. If you are one of these people, you will not be able to put this down. And you will want to keep the gateway to k.t. Frankovich opened.

Summary / Overview of: Where Heavens Meet

To summarize this book and even begin to do it any justice, defies all attempts. The words, remarkable, astonishing and unbelievable are mere understatements to describe the autobiographical accounts by this book's author, k.t. Frankovich. The reader is taken on the same non-stop emotional roller-coaster of extremes, which has been the personal and true experiences of this woman's life. These extremes include the dizzying heights of success both financially and professionally during her career as an accomplished and international award winning Major motion movie writer. Then plunging literally to the lowest levels of poverty, living crippled and wheelchair-bound on the streets of Miami with a young son to fend for. From the extremes of moving in and being part of the 'elite of society' - friend to some of the wealthiest and most powerful people on earth (including a President of the USA), to being one of the poorest and most destitute 'unknowns', tucked out of sight in the alley ways of America's Miami city. The extremes of laughter and tragedy are experienced, one moment in the company of the world renowned actor, Stirling Holloway, the original voice of Winnie the Pooh, and then the next moment crawling out of debris, seriously injured and barely alive, surviving America's greatest natural disaster, Hurricane Andrew. A roller coaster of plunging from extreme wealth to extreme poverty, not once but twice - from fame to obscurity, her identity stripped from her beyond the imaginable. But as if this were not enough in itself, k.t. Frankovich takes the reader into the world of the 'unknown and unexplainable' with her life long abilities which she struggled hard to conceal from the world for a large part of her life. Abilities which, if discussed with her professional colleagues, grounded in the sciences of the 'natural world', may have called her credentials as a wildlife observer and writer into question. Shock, horror, terror and downright disbelief are just a few of the emotions that k.t. relives and in turn invokes the same in the reader. But these are counterbalanced, like a swinging pendulum, by deep compassion, love, laughter and tears of triumph. The style of k.t. Frankovich's writing and approach to presenting her life in this book is also unique, presenting stories within stories, some interwoven, some standing alone. The book is effectively a shelf of books contained within it's covers. However, this book is not an egotistical self-absorbed account for the 'glorification' of it's writer. It is a book which shows the reader the extremes of humanity and inhumanity, the extremes of success and suffering. The extremes of how the world and our universe can be perceived and interpreted leaving the reader to also wonder - Where Heavens Meet.

I read this book with high expectations, because of the other reviews the book had received, and because Amazon[.com] collaborative filtering recommended it to me. To say I was disappointed would be putting it charitably. I have never before reviewed a book on Amazon[.com], and I may never do so again, but I felt strongly enough about this book that I felt I should take the time to set my feelings down in words. What disturbed me most about the book was the lack of consistency or coherency. I kept asking myself, "where is this going?" and "what is the point?" I finally came to the conclusion that there is none -- it's just a collection of the author's ramblings and slightly self-aggrandizing talk. (For someone who purports to be way above-average intelligence, there are an awful lot of grammatical and spelling mistakes...) I think k.t.'s observations and experiences about being homeless are the most valuable and poignant take-away from the book, and ultimately, perhaps worth the price. But overall, I was disappointed and a bit confused.

This is an excellent book but why would anyone pay for it when they can go to http://www.whereheavensmeet.com and read it for free!

I saw all the reviews, so I will make this short. This is an incredible story, just incredible!! I read alot of books, and this is one of the best. This woman has had a very tough life, but her spirit keeps going and she conquors adversity, somehow.
The UFO part in the story, amazingly isn't too bizaar to accept becaue of her total honesty, and she doesn't really care if you believe her or not. She has the guts to speak out and TELL what she experienced. Brave lady. I have also had a UFO experience, but have not had the guts to tell about it. It's difficult when you already know that people won't believe you, so why bother? I wish this author (K.T.) the best of luck, and just know that I DO believe you because I'm aware of it too. This is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it. My sister is going to read it next. Thank You K.T.

WHERE HEAVENS MEET is clearly the most interesting and emotionally moving book I have read in years, surely worthy of being on the Best Seller List. As if surviving Polio as a child wasn't enough, k.t.'s life on the streets of Miami along with her young son after surviving the full brunt of Hurricane Andrew brings tears to the eyes in how it describes the degree of inhumanity that human beings are actually capable of. But k.t.'s encounter with a being in a lime grove in South Florida is also a very interesting element of this book. Her story is very compelling and enlightening regarding extraterrestrial visitors and government secrecy. K.t. is a very gifted person...in more ways than one can imagine. Those who read this book are sure to be not only inspired by her courage, but truly enlightened by her words.

I only read the section on Hurricane Andrew (Ch. 25, 26), which I found while doing a simple search. As a survivor of Hurricane Andrew and still a resident of Miami, Florida, I have to say that most of her accounts about the hurricane are completely false. My mother in law used to work for Metrozoo and all of that is false. We were properly warned about the hurricane a few days before it hit. People were just too stubborn to leave. Thousands of people were not fished out of Biscayne Bay, though many more people died than the media reported. About the aliens at the Homestead Air Force B, base, she has gone overboard. But, hey everyone is entitled to believe what they want. In the two chapters I read, this lady seemed to know just everyone and anyone important. Yet, with all her "connections" she remained poor with noone to help her. It all seems odd. All I know is her accounts of the hurricane are completely skewed.

i think k.t.s book is absolutely fabulous.
