This is the true story of a near death experience and Mary Neal's life and her religious experience and beliefs. She grew up fairly religious, ie: mainstream protestant. The biggest problem that changed her world as a child was her parents divorce. She didn't see it coming.
Eventually her mom and dad both remarried. Throughout her life, she sees how God is guiding her and she stays quite aware and gains even from bad experiences.
She became a spine surgeon and also married a surgeon which accounts for them living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and being able to ski and do sports all over the world. Hence, her kayak accident in Chile. (note to self - kayaking waterfalls not good idea) Anyway, her story is fascinating not only from a religious and near death aspect, but from the very different kind of life she has had from me.
She had actually finished writing the book when her son died in an accident so she continued the book with her dealing with his death. This too, is valuable. She also has a website as does her son (memorial website). He was very into the environment and it's for donations and information. www.wnealenvirofund.org and http://drmaryneal.com .
She is the real deal and worth reading.
