Could he help them escape the path of death?"In search of open spaces and land to call his own, Daniel Boone fearlessly led a band of brave settlers into the bountiful Kentucky wilderness.

His heroic accomplishments on the frontier made him an American legend for all time.

    Heidi Barr didn't believe in Jesus. No one in her Jewish family did, nor did they want to—especially not her father, who told her that Jesus Christ was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on humankind. So when Heidi was in a terrible horseback riding accident and died at age sixteen, Jesus was the last person she expected to see. Yet she did. And then she returned to life. 
     
     
     
    This is the incredible true story of Heidi's difficult family life, her sudden death, her unexpectedly loving encounter with Jesus, and her return to life on earth as a person completely and irrevocably changed. This is also the story of Heidi loving her father and mother despite their disbelief of and disagreement with her faith. And this is the gripping, beautiful story of her parents' eventual reconciliation both with Heidi and with God, through the redeeming grace and all-encompassing love of Jesus Christ.

    ‘I Was Pronounced Dead’ by Toom Chanda is a powerful memoir of endurance, faith, and love. From the war-ravaged villages of Laos to the hope and uncertainty of starting anew in America, Toom’s story traces a remarkable journey through loss, survival, and transformation. Her narrative begins in childhood when war tears her homeland apart, forcing her family to flee in search of safety. Through years of displacement and hardship, she witnesses both the cruelty and courage that define human nature. 
    Haunted by the death of her firstborn daughter and sustained by her Buddhist faith, Toom learns to rebuild her life while holding onto the memories of those she has lost. Her reflections on identity and belonging offer an honest portrait of what it means to start over in a foreign land while remaining connected to one’s roots. 
    This memoir captures the unbreakable strength of family and the quiet resilience that arises from suffering. Told with clarity and compassion, it invites readers to consider their own capacity for forgiveness and renewal. ‘I Was Pronounced Dead’ is not only a story of survival but also a celebration of the human spirit’s ability to heal, hope, and love again, regardless of how deep the wounds or how distant the journey is.
