"Letters to Heaven by Ken Horn is a heartfelt, faith building book. If you have experienced grief, this book hits the heart in all the right spots. Thank you, Ken!" ~ Lisa M. I didn't expect to get such an emotional response to the letters I wrote to my granddaughter, Zellie. I certainly didn't want to write a book about letters. But... I had to write. I had no choice if I wanted to keep her memory alive and to fill the emptiness in my heart. It started out, easy enough, as the Summer of Content. Three generations of our family in one household.

I didn't expect to get such an emotional response to the letters I wrote to my granddaughter, Zellie. I certainly didn't want to write a book about letters. But... I had to write. I had no choice if I wanted to keep her memory alive and to fill the emptiness in my heart. It started out, easy enough, as the Summer of Content. Three generations of our family in one household. The escapades of my two very rambunctious grandkids caught the hearts of friends and neighbors here in Michigan, as they followed the stories of Liam and Zellie on social media. Until... the day we lost our precious two-year-old Zellie. Opa's little girl. The world crashed down on my shoulders so hard it drove me to my knees. I had choices to make; to look up or look away. I don't know what made me do it, but I looked up. I thought I knew God, and I tried to bargain with him. Nothing seemed to work. Answers I received though helped me form a letter, which I sent directly to Him. After that I kept writing to Zellie. These are the Letters to Heaven. With these letters, I shared the horrible pain our family was going through. Friends and family responded to the raw view of pain and prayers they read about. There was no getting around the emotions of that stinging loss, but we all began healing at about the same time. From that agonizing moment to this day, I find God sending people our way to help us on our life's journey together. He also sent us quick glimpses into heaven, which you'll read about in this book. I learned the hard way that the pain never goes away. And it may sound strange to say but you don't want it to, because that means forgetting. Determined not to forget my beautiful Zellie's face, or the way she wiggled when she laughed, I chose to remember. And the pain I merely survived. So, if you've lost someone very special in your life, or you know someone going through tough times, this story might just be for you. My little Zellie can make you smile, she'll make you pull out the Kleenex, but in the end, hope emerges. For me, and of the miracles, big and small, which my family witnessed, hope emerged of seeing my Zellie again in Heaven. Because trust me... Heaven is real. Really real.
