A Kiss from Heaven was inspired by a true story and written to help children grieve the loss of a loved one. One day Rashana learned that a former classmate had tragically lost his wife in a car accident, leaving him with two young daughters. A few days later one of his girls was seen looking out the window at the graveyard nestled in beside the little church across the street from where they lived. It was Rashana's compassion for those girls that brought A Kiss from Heaven to life.
