See NieNie on Oprah

Sometime in the past year I've posted a link to the NieNie Dialogues blog. On Wednesday the 7th of October, its author will be on the Oprah show.

Stephanie Nielson was in a plane crash in Arizona, and miraculously survived, along with her husband. Their friend, the pilot-instructor, was killed, and Stephanie was in a coma for months after her husband pulled her out of the burning wreckage. While she was in the hospital and both she and her husband were recovering, two of her sisters looked after their four small children.

Stephanie has been home with her husband and kids for several months now. She's still dealing with the pain of burns and with the shock of looking into the mirror at a face that is very different from the pretty one she had before the crash. She's been through a lot, but NieNie's is a love story. She's a Mormon whose faith is pulling her through, but she also has four sweet children, a darling husband, and the most supportive family ever.

I am writing notes to myself and leaving them everywhere so that maybe, just maybe, I can remember to turn the TV on tomorrow afternoon.
