Wading through the Shadows of Heaven is a faith-based novel about family reconciliation and emotional healing that explores death, grief, loss, and redemption. For as long as she can remember, the concepts of death and religion have been a struggle for 9-year-old protagonist Penny Marques.

The little she knew about God or Christianity, she’d gained from her grandmother Margery’s stories from the Bible. Her father moved out when she was only four years old, leaving her to be raised by her mother and her older sister, Amelia.

When Penny’s grandmother dies, it sets off a motion of events that will change Penny’s life forever. Coping with grief in her own way, she is forced to confront her fears of death, her uncertainties about religion, and her mother’s domineering brother.

But, with the help of her best friend Edgar and her Uncle Theo, Penny embarks on a journey of self-discovery and developing faith. Along the way, she gains an understanding of life, death, grief, and the world around her that eases some of her worries.

In this inspiring work of Christian literature, Penny learns to find faith in nature and hope among the stars. .
