Blue is the Color of Heaven: The Story of a Boy's Love, Strength & Beyond

Dana Ziemniak lost her son, Evan, because of a dare from a school bully. Since then, she's made it her mission to educate people everywhere about the dangerous social media challenges that prompted the dare.

In Blue is the Color of Heaven, Dana discusses her experience getting Evan an adequate diagnosis for his invisible disabilities. Despite her medical training as a pharmacist, she felt hopeless on her journey-even after turning to her school for support. Eventually, Evan was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and high-functioning autism.

But it wasn't enough.

Blue is the Color of Heaven is her way of taking a stand. In Blue is the Color of Heaven, Dana shares her struggle to getting Evan diagnosed-offering a glimpse into the challenges parents face when children have disabilities.

It also sheds light on the inadequacies we see within our schools. But most importantly, it overviews some of the dangers lurking among today's youth. Because how can you protect a child from something you don't know about?

"A must read for every parent or anyone who knows a parent!
"Dana Ziemniak has painted a picture of her beautiful son Evan and the tragedy that befell their whole family as a result of this activity. It is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
"Having lost my own son to the same 'game, ' I thoroughly understand what she has done and why. I applaud her for her courage and fearlessness in sharing her story in such detail. Despite all the work I've done over the years to spread awareness and education to prevent further deaths from this activity, I don't know that I would have the same mettle to share as deeply as Dana did. Kudos!" Judy Rogg, Director of Erik's Cause
