Roses from Heaven is a book that starts out as an adoption story and turns into a spiritual journey, from birth all the way into today's time, intertwining a unique perspective of one adoptees story (including the searching and discovery of birth parents and siblings) with God's hand in her life's path.
This particular story has many twists and turns as you see a very sensitive soul fight the perils of this life (often times barely holding on while fighting real battles with depression and sometimes bouts of feeling suicidal) while struggling with alcoholism, identity/abandonment issues, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Kelli candidly shares her experience as a single mom and her struggles to become a hospice nurse, a career she is passionate about. She recounts several death bed conversions during the course of caring for her patients.
As the journey unfolds, we see how God had his hand in every minute detail, just as he does in all our journeys, and this particular one takes a turn that leads the author (to her great surprise) back into the Catholic faith she was born into. Not only back into the Catholic faith, but through a long exploration where God shows a soul their past, present, and future in many ways. He gently leads this soul through an extremely personal and intimate relationship that is formed first with The Blessed Mother Mary, and then eventually including the entire Holy Family.
God gently shepherds Kelli through much-needed revelations, healing, and ultimately redemption. In the pages of this book, Kelli shares her personal journey of repentance, regret, and a most miraculous healing after attending a Rachel's Vineyard retreat for post-abortive healing. This is an inspiring testimony of what God can accomplish in the life of a soul that is fully committed to Him. This is a story of the miraculous Roses from Heaven and how God saved one woman's life in every way a person can be saved.
