A Winter's Journey - Jordan Phil

On the home front during World War II a young schoolgirl, Vida Rose, is taken ill. As she goes deeper into illness and a coma her spirit travels through a journey of spiritual experiences that reveal life's decisions, not only for Vida Rose, but for those that love her. She is greeted by a beautiful woman, she calls the Snow Queen, who guides her on her journey. Vida's mother, Mary Kathleen, struggles to raise Vida and her brother, John Jr., on the home front as her military husband has become missing in action in the European theater of war. Mary Kathleen, is helped by a Native American Navajo woman neighbor, Naomi, whose military husband, a Navajo code talker, is listed as Missing in Action. Vida's father, presumed dead, adds to a spiritually climactic ending. The faith of an Irish Catholic family, and the unity and camaraderie of Americans during World War II creates a spiritual warmth for humanity, giving an insight into near death and life after death experiences, overcoming prejudice, and trusting the power of love and faith and the constant presence of hope in life.
