A Princess Heart

A pure hope-filled heart is a true princess heart

Natalia Theresa was that beating heart, one that soulfully illuminated an evening sky with a lingering pink afterglow. Natalia was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 6-years-old. Yet, she never let her illness define her, for her wish was for everyone to be happy as she was.

She found ways to help others, making handmade gifts, angels, drawings, and even providing American Girl dolls. The pure joy in giving was all she required. How her eyes gleamed with delight when she received that "thank you" call after making angels for the children at the hospital. How she lay sleepless in excitement over giving a doll to a friend, and how she longed for a website so she could share her drawings. Natalia excelled at life and surely at love. Never fully dressed without a smile, she was, and those who had the privilege of knowing her, came away reflecting in her afterglow.

In this book, through her drawings she so longed to share, we paint Natalia's true story of her pure princess heart. Our hope is that you enjoy her artful treasures as much as Natalia did creating them. May you continue her love and giving spirit, knowing that a pure princess heart lies within you.
