This book is a quick and enjoyable read. Where we learn about Priyanka and Deepika, two tiny girls who journeyed to Heaven through their dreams / visions and discovered all of the wonders there. Their mother accompanied them with scriptural readings. Jemima did a wonderful job of explaining her girls' dream experiences and adventures in heaven.

The novel reads well. Jemima effectively conveys her children's thoughts and conversations, avoiding the "sensational" aspect of children's language and instead focusing on the deep truths they express. For example, "One night, while Priyanka and Deepika were sleeping, angels carried their souls to heaven." They flew higher and disappeared into the clouds. When they were flying high, Priyanka looked down and noticed houses becoming smaller as they rose into the sky. They spotted planets as they flew. The angels guided them around the sun, taking care not to get too close to it. The angels released them, and then a wind pushed them. Priyanka had purple wings, while Deepika had pink wings. They sailed up into the sky,Priyanka cried, "Five, four, three, two, one!" and Deepika shouted, "One, two, three, four, five!" They were walking on grass in Heaven. That was the greenest, well-watered grass they'd ever seen. Jesus said they could stay in heaven for two days. God was present in their home as well as Jesus'. Following that, Jesus and the angels led them home. As they were returning, they noticed their bodies sleeping on Earth, where, as they say, "Priyanka saw Priyanka," and "Deepika saw Deepika." Once home, the children took the angels to their princess room. The angels told them that one of our house's lamps was really attractive. After they returned, they desired to return to paradise.
I was fascinated by all the details that the girls told us with so much confidence, like the golden flowers, that the animals lived in peace and harmony, everyone was happy, nothing could hurt them, and God would protect them.I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a different perspective on paradise and hell through the eyes of children.I didn't find any errors, the book was well edited. I give it 5 out 5 stars simply because I liked the book in totality. Nothing to dislike. The book is Great!
