Three Days in Paradise is the story of Dani, a women with a string of failed relationships with cheating boyfriends and a past sin that haunts her.  Dani punishes herself mercifullessly by allowing others to rule her life, a life she cares little for due to deep regret.  That all changes on one fateful day was Dani is involved in a serious car accident.  Rescue comes in the form of the handsome Gabe who takes Dani to Paradise, a secluded village, to recover.Recovery for Dani requires more than the physical; Dani needs a lesson in forgiving herself and understanding the role of the Savior in her life.  Dani's experience in Paradise causes a spiritual awakening and healing that Dani so desperately needs.  The only problem is, Dani wakes up from her paradisical dream, to discover she has been in a coma for several days and actually died.  Dani begins a search to prove the existence of Paradise and, in doing so, puts together the fragments of her life with these spiritual experiences.Three days in Paradise is reminiscent of books by Debbie Macomber with a little more of a Christian slant.  I've read many books that have a similar theme: a life experienced while technically dead or while in a coma and the search for that life upon awakening.  This was a sweet story of the peace that comes from forgiving ourselves and accepting the atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives.  I really enjoyed it!
