She Came from Heaven

By Rosanne Pellicane

A story written from the heart She Came From Heaven is anything but a cute little doggie book. Rather, it is a kaleidoscope filled with wonderful detailed descriptions of characters, settings and situations that lure the reader into a crisis they never saw coming. The journey back from the frontier of desperation often moved me to tears. The further I got into the story, the more emotion was being poured out. She Came From Heaven has great elements of transition and foreshadowing that build drama and intrigue to the last page. Writer/Editor - Ginny De Mille "The dog's identity remained unknown, untraceable. She lived off the radar with no past, no present. Her history had been erased. I started to believe she had been enrolled in The Witness Protection Program. But at witness to what?"

Finding Peace!

In this tender work we meet a couple and enter into the core of their lives. A couple just like so many others around the world, yet they were going to have an unexplained visitor who would touch both of their lives in a miraculous way. Both are animal lovers, so when a black Labrador appears at their home one night what could they do but take her in? Although Jim certainly felt a much more immediate attachment than our author did, the little puppy seemed to have been brought to them for a purpose. Whimsey, as she was named, seemed to have no past, and despite our authors desperate tries at finding her rightful owner that never happened, nor was she able to place the dog with anyone else. Whimsey soon became a part of the family and a sister and friend to Paisley, the couples other dog. The story goes on and the couple lives life and all its struggles and challenges. Unfortunately, unbeknown to his wife, Jim could not handle what he was up against in life and killed himself. The trauma, heartbreak, questions, guilt and blame all began for Rosanne as she struggled to make sense of his death. Here is where she reaches out deeper to a God who loves her and finds solace in Him, and comfort in the companionship of Whimsey, who seemed to know her every thought and emotion.She becomes an anchor, a lighthouse through the storm, and a true friend and companion. This story was one of life, pure and simple. Life is not often a Rose garden, but is more filled with challenges and sorrows as we walk the journey. In her walk, our author learned a simple yet complex fact. God is ever present, and often uses things, persons, and yes even animals to comfort us in our times of need. There is a lesson here that we need to be open to the knocking at our door with what maybe the very saving grace in the future. It is a story of heartbreak and sorrow, yet it is filled with courage and faith for a better tomorrow. A true heart to heart story.

Exellent literary quality

I completed this book last week and I was very impressed with the literary quality of the work - the language, the similes and the metaphors. "She Came From Heaven" is beautifully written. The main theme that Jim always put off a discussion until the end was carried throughout the book. This is a fine work and I am waiting for the next book from this author! - Mary G.

Heart touching

This heart touching book tells the story of a dog who comes into the authors life at just the right time as a stray, and even though she tries to give the puppy away, in the end the dog is her lone friend who stays with her and comforts her through an unimaginable tragedy. The author turns to God for comfort at the end of the story and is restored. This book accomplished the rare feat of making me cry several times and I was unable to put it down. I enjoyed it, Rosanne Pellicane is a beautiful writer and I am glad she shared this story with me through her book.

She Came From Heaven

Rosanne Pellicane has written a book that I enjoyed reading, and that I have reccomended to many of my friends. The story is well written, and interesting, and in many ways, like Rosanne. I have known Rosanne for 18 years as a thoughtfull, expressive, and kind person and found all these attributes in her book. All of us face adversity in our lives at some point, and reading this story reinforced my belief that someone is looking after me, even if it is done so in ways I would never anticipate. Not all angels have wings. Some of them look like Labs.

She Came From Heaven

In our lives there isn't enough prayer, faith and hope. Even when it is present, it is rarely expressed. And so often not used to its potential. Ms. Pellicane uses her life experiences, good, bad and indifferent to foster the importance of faith and prayer. As I read each page I could see the growth of her spiritual life take over. How else could someone survive such tragedy. God places all sorts of tools in our hands to guide us through the difficult times, if we choose to accept them as Ms. Pellican did with "Whimsey" and her faith, then we too can survive! I loved this story, the lessons, and the everlasting hope it brings. A quick and easy read...over and over! T.Doyle
