Review
Heart Seasons: A Journey of Miracles by Dianna Donnely is a spiritually rich, emotionally endearing, and psychologically affecting narrative that captures the beauty of one woman's journey of faith into understanding the different seasons of her soul. In a moment of inspiration -- revelation -- theauthor felt a strong connection between the colors of the rainbow and herheart, and felt compelled to share the story of this "Journey of Miracles."
Dianna Donnely's writing reflects the colors of the rainbow -- joyous, colorful, and filled with light. You won't be able to read this book and look at your life in the same way again. One of the greatest lessons I learned from Heart Seasons: A Journey of Miracles is that one thing alone is constant -- God's love. Every other emotion we feel is transitory, like the seasons. You'll be inspired and entertained by this book, a rare gift of love and faith that you'll want to pass on to others.

Heart Seasons: A Journey of Miracles by Dianna Donnely is a powerful, inspirational book from an author with whom I share one thing in common -- the love for rainbows. But it is interesting to notice that she sees beyond the colors of the rainbow. She sees God's smile and gives symbolic meaning to the colors and explains what they represent. Inspired by real life events, this is a deeply moving spiritual odyssey that unveils beautiful treasures and spiritual gems, a story of faith.
Dianna Donnely's book is very beautifully written and it is one of those books that tell the story of most of us, a book that explores our deep quest for meaning and more from life. The book is a completely new way of looking at life through the spiritual and symbolic lens of the rainbow. Heart Seasons: A Journey of Miracles is written in the first-person narrative and features very beautiful prose. Heartwarming and empowering tale.Divine Zape, Readers' Favorite
Dianna Donnely pens a testimonial of faith in Heart Seasons. Donnely sets the stage by preparing the reader with insights into the colors of the rainbow spectrum. Each of the colors represents a season of the heart for her main character.
My favorite line: "It's not how you begin your life that matters, it's how you choose to make the journey." This statement is profoundly true. Heart Seasons reveals the patient, ever-presence of God. His ways and His timing are perfect, and truly, "God gives us grace for the season we are in."

Heart Seasons by Dianna Donnely is written after the author faced a medical crisis, and it encapsulates the different periods of the author's life. She has made it interesting and colorful by giving the sessions in the book the colors of the rainbow. The seven bands she has used symbolize the opening of her heart to God's love and becoming whole.
The author connects each color with the seasons of her heart and she reiterates the power and love of God in our lives. The book opens with the emotionally intense color red, where readers get to see the loss of the author's two immediate family members and her medical problem. The book is about faith, love, gratitude, and self-discovery and will inspire readers to look into their lives and have faith in God's will.

From the Back Cover
Have you ever felt like God was whispering to you? I have! One sunny spring day I was sitting in my favorite comfy chair, writing in my journal. From out of the blue, I began experiencing a sensation I had never felt before. I felt a calming warmth in my heart and all of a sudden, I started writing down ideas on the blank pages in my notebook, one after the other, that just came to me.
I was receiving inspiration to tell a story from my personal journals. The first thing I wrote down was its title, "Heart Seasons." It would be a fictional story based on different seasons from my own real life and each season of the novel would be defined by the colors of the rainbow. Come join me on my "Journey of Miracles."

In the colors of the rainbow, Blue is the fifth color, a pure color that cannot be created by combining any other others. A color only God can create, it is the color of the sky and the sea and represents peace.
