I CONSIDER IT A MUST READ
"Misfit in Hell to Heaven Expat" is a perfectly titled book in that clearly M. K. McDaniel was not meant to linger in torment, but to return to the light and love she now enjoys bringing into the lives of others who have known despair. In page-turning fashion, the author takes us along for an epic heroine's journey, literally to hell and back. I consider it a must read." ~ Kimberly Clark Sharp, MSW, LCSW, President of the Seattle International Association for Near-Death Studies"
GREAT READ!
"The author does a fantastic job of bringing you into her world, and giving you a feel for who she is. I loved that this was not just a “drama read” with just her NDE experience; but rather, the before and after, with her full circle of understanding. It was a loving sharing of her most vulnerable moments and truths. I highly recommend this book for those who are on a spiritual journey, and wondering how they fit into the world. I loved this book!" ` Doe

MY REVIEW
"The book was easy to read because the author’s approach in writing was straightforward and very conversational. She also injected a few amusing moments that had me grinning. I cried during the part about Kathleen because I felt the pain and suffering that the author went through; that was really a very difficult situation to deal with. The author went through a hellish experience and I’m glad that despite the time she almost lost her faith, she still chose the right path.
I’m giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. It’s a good memoir and I respect the author’s courage in sharing her extraordinary journey through life, near-death, as well as her encounters with otherworldly beings. I recommend this book to mature readers because of its sensitive topics." ~ Shey S.
A BUMPY RIDE THROUGH LIFE!
"Holy wow! I was completely enthralled by this book, the story, and the storytelling! This woman has led an amazing life. I found myself wondering how one woman could possibly have all of these things happen, and yet they did. What she experienced along her life's journey challenged her beliefs and she shares this all with the reader." ~ Kass
GIVES READERS THE MOTIVE TO EXAMINE THEIR OWN LIVES
"Life has challenges for all of us, certainly, greater for some than others. The determination to continue on and try to understand why our lives take the path they do." ~ Linda E.
REALISTIC, HONEST AND HEARTFELT
Wow, thank you for sharing your life story and NDE experience with such honesty. The book beautifully depicts how the traumatic events in life can leave us scarred. The internalized pain can leave us unconsciously judging ourselves as less than worthy of Love. This book beautifully depicts one woman’s journey through hell and back to Heaven as a journey of forgiveness, healing and then applying all she learned to hurting people in her life. Bravo! More real stories like this are needed. Thank you. ~ Ann S.
FROM THE APPEARANCE ON THE HEALING PRAYER CIRCLE WITH CHERYL MURPHY
"Such an awareness of love and support, MK. You look pretty amazing to me. You are an energy healer." ~ Program Listener
I WANTED TO MENTION THAT I READ YOUR BOOK
I am amazed by all the life challenges that you’ve endured and overcome. My goodness, if there is anyone that deserves a break - it’s YOU! Well written book by the way! ~ Loriann
I COULDN'T STOP READING THIS BOOK!
"This author is a great storyteller and I found her descriptions of her early life experiences as interesting as her description of what she saw in Hell, which was absolutely riveting. The scenes in Hell were grotesque and terrifying, and she describes what she saw in such vivid detail I felt like as if each scene was playing out in my mind like a movie. What was really interesting to me was seeing the parallels between her life experiences and her visions in Hell. I also found her attitude towards her exceptionally challenging life circumstances to be very inspiring. I highly recommend this book but be warned--it really is hard to put down once you start reading." ~ Galaxygal9
A GREAT READ!
"First of all- full disclosure. The author is a close friend of mine, so my objectivity may be questionable. I met her shortly after her recovery from ARDS, and she shared with me her NDE at that time. However this book has definitely given me a much deeper insight into the challenges she has faced and the beliefs she holds. I found the book to be very interesting, entertaining, and captivating. I especially liked the style of using many chapter vignettes which kept me anxious to keep reading non-stop. For these reasons I am giving the book five stars. I really don't know how to judge it from a stranger's point of view. Would they find it readable? Believable? Compelling? I can only say I found it thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking. ~ CMA
HESITATED TO READ...BUT GLAD I DID!!!
"I had hesitated reading this book when it first arrived, as I really did not want to see what a "glimpse of hell" looked like. But, once I started reading it, I had to read it until the end!!! Well written, humorous, as well as sad and happy. I was fascinated reading about the author, always feeling like the "new kid" in most situations (and some situations quite strange)...then going to hell...then to heaven...to now being an "angel" here on earth. I hope to be able to read about her continuing "angel" experiences. I am sure there will be many!!! ~ Carol M.
INTRIGUING...
This book took me on a journey into, through, and beyond. The cover and subject matter I found intriguing. I not only enjoyed M.K.'s story, but her style of writing. Upon completion, this book took me beyond the written words. I found myself questioning and reflecting on my deep beliefs. A good story and author evoke the "beyond " experiences. Thank you for sharing your story M.K. ~ SLW.
