In 1999, A kayak accident during a South American adventure took Mary Neal to heaven and back. In heaven she learned from God about, true happiness and joy. On board with Mary was a surgeon and his wife. The accident occurred well they were heading down a water fall. In the story Mary talks about her feelings and her communication with everyone and what happened in after life.

REASPONSE

For my responses I drew Mary Neal on the kayak this was a photo right before she went down the waterfall.

Why?

I knew this was a very dramatic part of her life, on the kayak trip so I decided to draw it. And I knew this was a moment of her life she would never forget.

EXPLORATION (LETTER TO AUTHOR)

Hi, Mary

I am Shannon Bauer from the Birmingham school district in MI. I have read your book “to heaven and back”. I wrote this email because I am doing a book report on your book and I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions.

1. Do you think the kayak accident was meant to be?

2. Is their anything that you will never forget from this experience?

Thanks for your time,

Shannon Bauer
