Overview

A heartwarming journey of love, faith, and discovering that Heaven is closer than we think. Saturday nights at Grandma's house were pure magic. The whole family would gather, aunties, uncles, and cousins, cooking, laughing, and singing together. Grandma's famous rolls were legendary, her potato salad unmatched, and when she sang ""Precious Lord, Take My Hand"" on Sunday mornings, the whole church felt blessed. For young Kathy, life revolved around these precious moments with Grandma at Holy City AME Church, until one Sunday when everything changed forever. When the ambulance comes and the grown-ups start crying, Kathy hears words that don't make sense: ""Grandma went to Heaven."" But Kathy isn't ready to say goodbye. If Grandma went to Heaven, then Kathy will simply go there too! After all, Heaven can't be more than fifteen or twenty minutes away, right? That's how long it took to get from church to the hospital. Armed with determination, her favorite teddy bear, and a suitcase full of hope, Kathy announces her plan: she's going to Heaven to see Grandma. What follows is an unforgettable journey with her Dad, Pastor Robinson, and friends who have also lost loved ones, a journey that leads them back to Holy City AME Church and to a beautiful truth about love that never dies.
