The astonishing, true story of how a little girl survived a death-defying fall to tell of her time in heaven. Soon to be a Hollywood movie.

A little girl's life hangs in the balance one transformative night on a ranch in Texas, and a stunning series of miracles unfolds in the wake of the dramatic rescue.

For Christy and Kevin Beam, life was lived in the shadow of their middle daughter Annabel's devastating illness. Diagnosed with an incurable, life-threatening digestive disorder, little Anna endured years of pain and invasive treatments with equanimity and childlike faith before finally telling her heartbroken mother, 'Mummy, I just want to go to Heaven with Jesus where there is no pain.'

Two weeks later, on a good day when she felt up to playing with her sisters on the family farm, Annabel fell through an opening high in a hollow tree and tumbled thirty feet, headfirst, to the ground. Trapped inside as firefighters frantically worked to bring her out, and her family stood by, praying for a miracle, Anna experienced something extraordinary. In the days that followed her rescue, she quietly shared a stunning story of visiting Heaven, meeting Jesus and being guided by the light of a guardian angel. But the greatest miracle of all had only just begun to unfold - a well-documented medical miracle that has left specialists baffled.

Christy Wilson Beam's uplifting memoir is a testament to the strength of family, and a balm for anyone longing to know what lies at the end of our earthly journey.

Annabel Beam is one of three sisters raised in the Texas countryside by loving parents. But what should have been a happy, carefree childhood was blighted when Annabel developed a painful and seemingly incurable digestive disorder. Her parents spared no expense in the search for a cure, but medical experts assured them there was none.

On a rare day when Annabel felt well enough to play outside, she was climbing an old hollowed-out tree when a branch snapped and she fell, head first, thirty feet down inside the tree. Miraculously, she survived the fall but was knocked unconscious. Rescued and later released from hospital, Annabel told her mother, 'you know I went to heaven when I was in that tree'. Annabel shared with her mother her amazing experience of talking to God, who told her that it wasn't her time and that she must go back. What happened next was the greatest miracle of all. Annabel was inexplicably cured of her illness and her doctors could offer no explanation.

Written by Annabel's mother Christy, Miracles from Heaven is the story of a little girl's - and a family's - inspiring journey. Deeply moving and heartwarming, the book recounts the fateful day of the accident, Annabel's description of her time in heaven and her miraculous recovery. This is the story of how one family never gave up hope.
