HOPE FROM HEAVEN

Dying was easy. Living is hard.
starburst used as a line separator
A feature screenplay inspired by the
extraordinary true story of Elissa Hope.
Most near-death stories
end when the person comes back.

Hers begins there.

Coming back is only the beginning. In this extraordinary true story, Elissa returns with the conviction that she was sent back for a reason — carrying an unshakable hope born in Heaven, a belief that will be tested by love, betrayal, loss, and the people who shape the rest of her life.
14 YEARS OLD
Elissa dies during a routine dental procedure and experiences Heaven.
SENT BACK
She returns believing she has been given another chance—and that her guardian angels will help her through the terrible things ahead.
A LIFETIME
OF HOPE
Failed relationships, abuse, motherhood, loss, forgiveness— and ultimately Todd.

She survived death.

Now she has to survive life.
