Synopsis

Placed on a ventilator for lung failure in 1999, M.K. McDaniel fought for her life in a drug-induced coma for three weeks. Misfit In Hell to Heaven Expat is based on a story of M.K.’s experiences before, during, and after a Dark Near-Death Experience. Her family waited and prayed, totally unaware of the horrors M.K. was bravely facing and miserably enduring in a seemingly eternal hell, culminating in her eventual glimpse of heaven and chat with her deceased fiancé. But M.K. still had work to do on Earth. During her lengthy recovery, as M.K. reflected on the purpose of her experiences in the Afterlife, she recalled the tribulations of her family ancestors and their courage to survive. If they could overcome their overwhelming obstacles, then so could she. As memories of former earthly hellish traumas surfaced and seemed to parallel her actual hell experiences, M.K. sought out others with the same story. She eventually found solace, hope, and understanding at the International Association of Near-Death Studies meetings in Seattle. IANDS offered insights, camaraderie, and a joy she had nearly forgotten to be possible in this life. Uplifting, humorous, chilling, and engrossing, Misfit In Hell to Heaven Expat takes the reader by the hand to safely explore our human and otherworldly selves. Its gentle message will help the reader find their way along the bumpy, earthly road to eternity.

Be forewarned – this book ensnares you. I could not put the book down – read it in one sitting! Themes of addiction, dysfunctional family interactions, sexual assault, evil and good resonate throughout so many lives today; but few authors deal with these with such wry humor. Her light writing style......more

M.K. McDaniel’s Misfit in Hell to Heaven Expat is not a book I’d likely be drawn to on the shelves or my local bookstore. But I welcome the opportunities to read work that doesn’t mimic the genres I usually read or write. That said, I’m glad to have learned from McDaniel’s experiences and her life.......more
