Beyond Tragedy ~ A Story of Shanann Watts

When Shanann opened her eyes the world was foggy. Something was terribly wrong yet she wasn’t certain what had happened. Her grandmother, who had passed long ago, was standing in her kitchen surrounded by brilliant light and an indescribable fragrance. With great love Gran handed Nico to Shanann and she marveled over her precious newborn son as her three-year-old daughter CeCe happily danced around the room. Longing to go with Gran, Shanann moved towards the light until she suddenly realized that her older daughter, four-year-old Bella, was not with them. Shanann was greatly comforted when Gran took Nico and CeCe into a place of safety and love, yet all faded into confusion and a desperate urgency when they left and she was consumed by her need to find Bella. Shanann was quite surprised, yet very comforted when she discovered Speaks With Stars, a Native American man, drumming by his fire in her front yard, a place his people had known for centuries before Shanann and her husband Chris, purchased their home in Frederick, Colorado. Speaks With Stars let Shanann know that she was not alone and that he would be by her side. With his guidance and wisdom Shanann came to realize that she and her three children had been brutally murdered, and she now must reconcile herself to the events that were thrust upon her physical life, and the new journey of self-realization and wonder that had begun.
