Nearly every little girl’s dream is to become a mommy. From an early age, many little girls naturally pick up a baby doll, cuddle it, nurture it, and pretend they are mommy to that 'baby.' For Jodie Stevenson, her dream was to become a wife and a mother. However, she wondered if she would ever see that dream come true - and when she did, it wasn’t the dream she had hoped.Diagnosed with a learning disability, and labeled as 'slow,' Jodie was told she should not have children. But she was determined to prove everyone wrong.Angel Heart is the true story of a young mother who walked through the grief and heartbreak of losing her premature baby. Yet, it’s also about the hope she walks every day knowing that the God she serves is merciful, loving, and kind.Shelley Wilburn writes Jodie’s story in a simple and loving way. Her desire is to reveal the sweet personality of a young woman who, even through hurt, confusion, heartbreak, and loss, kept her faith.'I don’t want people to feel sorry for me. I just want people to know that I love like they do. I know what it feels like [to lose a baby] and I want to minister to [and comfort] other women. Grief is real, but so is God. He can help you through it.' ~ Jodie Stevenson
