I can’t even begin to imagine going through what Jeanne Enstad has: 28 years of major surgeries, four open hearts, cancer twice, gangrene in both her legs, a head-on collision with an 18-wheeler, and two visits to heaven.

By the end of it, she came out with $290,000 in medical bills and a new lease on life.

Her first book, A Journey of Hope to Heaven and Back has been adapted into a Hollywood screenplay. Despite all she’s been through, Jeanne has kept a positive, upbeat attitude and is striving to help others view life in a different light.
