Book Description:
What
if you could choose your heaven now? Go on a celestial shopping trip of
sorts? Thirty-five-year-old Vivienne does just that, as she lies dying
in the ICU; a fatal walk into the path of a truck. In her final week of
life, Vivienne treks through the Heavens of a priest, a best friend, a
homeless child, and a lover who never was. Vivienne’s guardian angel,
Noah, who may just be her soul mate, escorts her through selections of
Heavens and through the confusion Vivienne experiences as she flounders
between a doubt of life and the certainty of death. Although her visits
to varied afterlives provide peace and beauty, choosing proves not so
easy: Vivienne’s love for her young son and her earthly father pull her
from her colorful journey—and from her divine love of Noah.

My review;
Wow! "The Extraordinary Journey of Vivienne Marshall" by author Shannon Kirk is a story of hope, love and heaven. I was not prepared for what I read although I hope that this is what is really takes place. I have read other books about heaven but, I was captured by this one from the very first page. I had to keep reading until I finished, only stopping when I really had to. I really got the chills more than once while reading this. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book for a review and all opinions are mine.
