GABRIELLE GRAHAM - A Call to Angels (2008)
Nine-year-old Gabrielle Graham, a survivor of leukemia, resides with her family in an upscale neighborhood where there are few children her own age. Because of this, Gabi forms a strong bond with her pets, particularly her little basset hound, Angel, with whom she spends most of her free time. The young girl also enjoys the company of her widowed grandmother, who lives nearby. The two of them set out to put Angel to work as a therapy dog at various nursing homes in the vicinity. That plan is interrupted, however, when Gabi has an accident in her swimming pool.

While awaiting her mother at poolside, prior to going for a swim, the young girl drops her ring into the pool. Without thinking, she dives in after it, striking her head at the bottom. As Gabi attempts to find the ring, she encounters a golden spiral stairway and proceeds to climb up toward the top of the pool. During her ascent she meets up with multiple angels in the guise of some of her favorite toys. Each, has an important message.

Upon awakening by the pool, with her concerned parents nearby, Gabi becomes aware that she has nearly drowned. Her entire experience with the angels an illusion, according to her parents, but she thinks otherwise. As word spreads of her serendipitous journey, a local reporter writes a story about her perceived encounter and is further amazed at the reaction of others who come forward with their own personal stories of near-death experiences.
