A Whimsy's Heart

Somewhere between whimsical and real, between colored puzzle-pieced walls—which transformed beyond clockwork design and unmeasured time—sat a little girl.

Martha “Whimsy” Michaels baffles many who meet her, but she perplexes her brother Stephen most of all. Why can’t she be like his friends’ sisters? Theirs didn’t vanish from rooms or obsess on making art collages with everyone. He’d settle for normal little sister irritations over his any day. Still, she had something he couldn’t understand. Her friends did. She insisted he wasn’t ready. What was that supposed to mean?

Whimsy’s room holds treasure. Those who find it must lay down everything. Beyond the colorful walls, Spiritual battles rage. Those ready to step into the fray in absolute surrender must be ready. She always knows who is. Travel from whimsical childhood to harsh adulthood with Stephen and Whimsy.

Are you ready?

It’s 2017. Five years have passed since Stephen Michaels left the military. Nikki helps him set up a foundation to assist military families through art centers and a trial app to rescue Veterans with PTSD. God guides them each step of the way. They fall in love, marry, and move to Monterey for Nikki’s new job as an illustrator. Meanwhile, Stephen and an Army buddy work on the final version of his PTSD app.

One night in the midst of a dream, Stephen receives not only the name and design needed to complete the official launch, but also spiritual advice about what is to come.

Nikki Michaels adores her husband, but the past two years have held a bittersweet mixture of loss and hope. Now, his best friend is missing and Stephen has gone deep to find him.

But what if he never returns? Why is life so upside-down? She’s not sure she can handle any more loss.
