Subject: Straight Rainbow
Hi Kris! I am a friend of Jan Skousen, who introduced me to your wonderful book. I enjoyed it so much and read through it in just four days! (I am not a quick reader, so that’s really saying something. 😊)
I love to read while lounging on the chaise in my family room where the afternoon light streams through our glass front door. On Saturday, as I was in the middle of reading your book, a rainbow suddenly appeared on the page! And not just a rainbow–a straight rainbow! I could not believe it! I immediately snapped a picture so I could share it with Jan. I have goosebumps now as I’m typing this and thinking back on that little “God wink” (as my grandmother would have called it).
I had already been thoroughly enjoying your book, but that little rainbow, (sent from God in my opinion) was just icing on the cake– solidifying to me the beauty and authenticity of your story. Your vulnerability is inspiring, and I am so grateful for your willingness to share your unique and complicated story.
One of my main take aways from your book is that the Savior is so very mindful of us. My struggles may look different from yours, but my ability to have the Savior guide me through life’s challenges is the same. I hope to be as willing to let Him do so as you have been.
You are an inspiration and I am better for having read your story. Thank you for being so real, raw and authentic. We need more Kris Days in this world.
With gratitude and much admiration,
Heidi Maloney
