About this listen
Despite her deformed left leg and withered left hand, nine-year-old Leilani Klonk radiates a buoyant and indomitable spirit that inspires Micky. Beneath Leilani's effervescence, however, Micky comes to sense a quiet desperation that the girl dares not express. Leilani's mother is little more than a child herself, and her stepfather, Preston Maddoc, is educated but threatening. Slowly, ever more troubling details emerge in Leilani's conversations with Micky. Most chilling is Micky's discovery that Leilani had an older brother, also disabled, who vanished after Maddoc took him into the woods one night and is now "gone to the stars".
While the child-protection bureaucracy gives Micky the runaround, the Maddoc family slips away into the night. So Micky sets out across America to find them: for the first time living for something bigger than herself. One Door Away from Heaven is an incandescent mix of suspense and humor, fear and wonder, a story of redemption and timeless wisdom that will have listeners cheering.

Another great Koontz book
Dean Koontz has the best style of writing. Amazing book with a great message and anytime he puts dogs in his books, I'm in!

Really enjoying this one.
I find this book timely, doesn't matter what year it was written, and enjoyable. People either love or hate the fact Koontz puts dogs in many of his books, I love it. Having had Goldens for years...even though Old Yeller here isn't yellow at all, I'm glad she's in it.
Excellent narration, really pleasant and has a good range of voices.

Excellent read and audio book
Dean Koontz is an excellent author who transports me with every scene so that I can not only be a bystander, but I become one of the characters in each story.

One door from heaven
Good story but reader’s monotone boring and had to go back again and again to “tune in” again.

Dean, What were you thinking?
A very well written book, but it leaves a lot unresolved or clumsily tied up at the end in a sentence or two leaving the listener unfulfilled. I loved the idea of the book, and the characters, but it took so long to get the essence of what the author wanted to ultimately say that I lost interest very quickly.
Especially frustrating was the way everything was tied up at the end. Why would the politician’s wife fund their roving around the country? How did Rickster ultimately end up with them in the motor home? Not a great book, at least compared to others he has written.
I also don’t understand the author’s obvious “dog obsession” - enough with the dogs already!

Disappointed
Was great until final chapter went off into left field. The ending made no sense.
